Optical Waves in Layered Media presents a clear picture of the propagation of optical waves in layered media and teaches the reader how to design and analyze optical devices using such media. Starting from the simplest case of plane wave propagation in homogeneous media, the author introduces a new matrix method for studying the optical properties of multilayer structures consisting of isotropic materials. He then describes propagation in anisotropic layered media and in inhomogeneous layers, guided waves, the coupling of modes, and the optical properties of superlattices and quantum wells. O

This book is a theoretical study of the evolution laws of random nonlinear waves of diverse physical nature propagating in nondispersive media. The book discusses the experience gained when developing an approach mainly relying on a body of Lagrangian and Eulerian statistics of random fields. This method aims to allow one to embrace in a unified manner a wide variety of random strongly nonlinear waves in nondispersive media, to reveal their specific features and fundamental evolution laws, and, finally, to apply the results to the solution of some particular physical problems. The book is base

Electromagnetic and Optical Pulse Propagation presents a detailed, systematic treatment of the time-domain electromagnetics with application to the propagation of transient electromagnetic fields (including ultrawideband signals and ultrashort pulses) in homogeneous, isotropic media which exhibit both temporal frequency dispersion and attenuation. The development is mathematically rigorous with strict adherence to the fundamental physical principle of causality. Approximation methods are based upon mathematically well-defined asymptotic techniques that are based upon the saddle point method. A

The content of this book is multidisciplinary by nature. It uses mathematical tools from the theories of probability and stochastic processes, partial differential equations, and asymptotic analysis, combined with the physics of wave propagation and modeling of time reversal experiments. It is addressed to a wide audience of graduate students and researchers interested in the intriguing phenomena related to waves propagating in random media. At the end of each chapter there is a section of notes where the authors give references and additional comments on the various results presented in the c

This book has been designed as a tutorial for the theory of non-linear waves in optics. The emphasis is on the basic aspects of the theory, on analytical methods and on non-dissipative phenomena. The self-induced transparency phenomenon and short pulse propagation in fibres are good examples of the important role solitons play in non-linear optics. The classical problem of non-linear optics is the parametric interaction of waves. Three- and four-wave parametric interaction processes are of particular interest because they enable new applications of the inverse scattering transform meth
