Microscopic Models for Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Highly Dispersive Media
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to advance the understanding of the propagation of ultrafast picosecond electromagnetic pulses in Biological solutions and ultimately, in human tissue. Present day standards of the allowed electromagnetic doses do not include dispersion, modulation or envelope effects, memory or nonlinearity. It is well-known experimentally that biological solutions are highly dispersive. It is plausible, but not established, that modulation, memory and nonlinearity may be important in biological solutions. Hence, this project represents a first step toward better standards.
