Classical $v_{gr}\ne c$ solutions of Maxwell equations and the tunneling photon effect

Abstract

We propose a very simple but general method to construct solutions of Maxwell equations propagating with a group velocity $v_{gr}\ne c$. Applications to wave guides and a possible description of the known experimental evidences on photonic tunneling are discussed.
