An Introduction to Applied Electromagnetics and Optics cover

This book provides a comprehensive overview of electromagnetic phenomena and their relationship to optics, ideal for junior electrical engineering students.

In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, it is essential for future engineers to possess a strong foundation in both science and technology, particularly in the realm of electromagnetic phenomena. An Introduction to Applied Electromagnetics and Optics serves as a contemporary textbook designed for a one-semester course aimed at junior electrical engineering students. The book delves into a wide array of electromagnetic phenomena, including surface waves, plasmas, photonic crystals, and negative refraction, while also exploring related materials such as superconductors.

What sets An Introduction to Applied Electromagnetics and Optics apart from other texts is its integration of electromagnetism and optics. Most existing literature tends to treat these two subjects as separate entities, but this book presents a cohesive narrative that highlights their interconnections. This approach not only enhances the learning experience but also prepares students for real-world applications where these principles often converge.

To further enrich the educational experience, the text includes seven laboratory experiments that complement the theoretical material. These labs are designed to provide hands-on experience, reinforcing the concepts discussed in the book and ensuring that students are well-equipped to tackle the challenges of modern engineering. Overall, An Introduction to Applied Electromagnetics and Optics is an invaluable resource for aspiring engineers seeking to deepen their understanding of this critical field.

"…provides a clear explanation and introduction to applied electromagnetics and optics. This very readable book begins with the foundations of the fields and then successfully covers a number of timely topics that have wide ranges of potential applications."
— Michael A. Stroscio, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

"This book is well written, not overly mathematical, methodical, and combines a thorough coverage of fundamentals with up-to-date results, such as superconductors, surface waves, plasmas, photonic crystals, and negative refraction."
—Michael Shur, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, USA

"The book’s contents give students not only fundamental knowledge about electrodynamics, but also practical ideas for applications to device, antenna, and waveguide implementations with truly physical and electrodynamical theories. Organizing the book this way gives strong benefits to all students in wide aspects of related fields like electrical engineering and applied physics, as well as material science courses students."
— Taiichi Otsuji, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan

"This book is appropriate for both students as an excellent electromagnetics text and for engineers as a great reference. A rigorous mathematics presentation and thoughtful organization structure develop a step by step expertise from traditional solutions of Maxwell equations in isotropic medium, interfaces and transmission lines to advanced anisotropic, periodic and negative index materials. The book provides a unified approach to different EM and optical problems and illustrates them with many solved examples. The reader will require some knowledge of mathematics and general physics for clear understanding of the material, but as a result, will acquire confidence in understanding of this essential subject for modern engineering disciplines."
— Serge Oktyabrsky, SUNY Polytechnic Institute, Utica, New York, USA
