A note on conserved quantities for electromagnetic waves
T. G. Philbin
Electromagnetic waves carry an infinite number of conserved quantities. We give a simple explanation of this fact, which also shows how to write down conserved quantities at will a…
Some exact solutions for light beams
T. G. Philbin
We give an infinite class of exact analytical solutions for monochromatic light beams with strong focusing. As the solutions do not contain integrals, they are easy to explore comp…
Designing scattering-free isotropic index profiles using phase-amplitude equations
Chris King, Simon Horsley, Thomas Philbin
The Helmholtz equation can be written as coupled equations for the amplitude and phase. By considering spatial phase distributions corresponding to reflectionless wave propagation…
Reflection and transmission in nonlocal susceptibility models with multiple resonances
R. J. Churchill, T. G. Philbin
We consider a semi-infinite dielectric with multiple spatially dispersive resonances in the susceptibility. The effect of the boundary is described by an arbitrary reflection coeff…
Zero reflection and transmission in graded index media
Chris King, Simon Horsley, Tom Philbin
Graded index media whose electric susceptibility satisfies the spatial Kramers-Kronig relations are known to be one-way reflectionless to electromagnetic radiation, for all angles…
A class of invisible inhomogeneous media and the control of electromagnetic waves
Benjamin Vial, Yangjie Liu, Simon A. R. Horsley +2
We propose a general method to arbitrarily manipulate an electromagnetic wave propagating in a two-dimensional medium, without introducing any scattering. This leads to a whole cla…
