The Asymptotic Theory of the Reflection and Transmission of a Pulsed Electromagnetic Beam Field at a Planar Interface Separating Two Dispersive Media
Abstract
The long term research goal is to develop a rigorous analytic formulation and, based upon this, a uniform asymptotic description of pulsed electromagnetic beam-field propagation, reflection, and transmission phenomena in causally dispersive dielectric and conducting media. Emphasis has been placed first on a formulation that is rigorously derived from the macroscopic Maxwell's equations with constitutive relations that are appropriate for a homogeneous, isotropic, nonhysteretic, locally linear, temporally dispersive medium, followed by the development and application of the required uniform asymptotic expansion techniques necessary to yield a completely continuous description of the space- time evolution of the pulsed beam-field at large propagation distances from the input plane.
