    Rectangular Optical Wavguide - EM Wave

    Ok, I've got to go back to the basics again: Can you explain curl? as in how do I do it, I've read many portions of many books that say by taking the curl of Maxwell's equations 2 and 4, we can derive the Wave equation for E. However I don't understand how they get from this: "See the...

    Rectangular Optical Wavguide - EM Wave

    I got a hold of a copy of: Griffiths, "Introduction to Electrodynamics", section 9.5 (Guided Waves) .. and read through chapter 9... I guess my problem is the level of math is above what I'm used to. Can anyone explain the standard wave equation? { \partial^2 u \over \partial t^2...

    Rectangular Optical Wavguide - EM Wave

    Hello All, this is my first post, and while I'm a newb to the forums I'm not a newb to Optics. However, I have a very light background in low level electromagnetics, I'm more of a network design person. I'm working on a very very long term personal project to understand optics better and I've...
