Electrodynamics of waveguiding structures. Theory of excitation

Based on the basic positions of the electrodynamics, a self-consistent theory of excitation and communication of waveguide modes is developed, applicable to any (closed and open) wave-proof structures. Wandering structures containing medium with isotropic, anisotropic and biacotropic properties are considered. Consideration was carried out taking into account the dissipation of energy in these environments. As an application of the general theory, planar optical waveguides used in integral optics, electrooptics, acoustooptics and magneto-optics are considered. Modal communication coefficients are obtained as a special case of general expressions that take into account statistical and dynamic parametric perturbations in the application to the directed and radiative modes of open dielectric waveguides.
The results of the last two chapters can serve as the basis for developing applied programs for numerical calculation of various devices of waveguide optics.
The book is designed to students, graduate students and teachers of universities, as well as specialists in the field of theoretical and applied electrodynamics, integral optics, acousto-optics, electrostatics and magneto-optics
