Summary

In this advanced electromagnetics course, you will develop a solid theoretical understanding of wave-matter interactions in natural materials and artificially structured photonic media and devices.

Content

1) Electromagnetic waves in continuous media (10h)
Maxwell equations, theorems, eigenmodal solutions, bi-anisotropic media, frequency dispersion, Kramers-Kronig relations, Lorentz and Drude models, wave velocities, double-negative media

 

2) Scattering of Electromagnetic waves (6h)
S-matrix properties, resonant scattering, coupled-mode theory, Lorentzian and Fano spectra, critical coupling, singularities, bound states in continuum, dipolar scattering, coupled-dipoles model, Mie scattering, multipoles.

 

3) Photonic crystals (6h)
Periodic sytems, reciprocal space, Bloch theorem, band structure, Bragg band gaps, transfer matrix theory, defects, omnidirectional dielectric mirrors, collimation, super prism

 

4) Metamaterials (7h)
Non-resonant mixtures, Maxwell-Garnett formula, effective parameters, superlens, locally-resonant metamaterials, hybridization band gaps, spoof surface plasmon polaritons, dipolar metasurfaces, spatial dispersion

Keywords

Photonics, Electromagnetic field theory, Scattering, photonic crystal devices, metamaterials
