Transfer Matrix Techniques for Electromagnetic Waves

摘要: The concept of a transfer matrix is extremely simple: if we know electric and magnetic fields in the x-y plane at z=0, then can use Maxwell’s equations fixed frequency to integrate wavefield find z=c. In fact, assume that both B D have zero divergence, need only two components each field: let us say, $$ F\left( {z = 0} \right) \left[ {{{E}_{x}}\left( \right),{{E}_{y}}\left( \right),{{H}_{x}}\left( \right),{{H}_{y}}\left( \right)} \right] $$ (1.1) Then, c} T\left( {c,0} \right)F\left( $$ (1.2) defines matrix, T.
