Show that the average energy density in a pulse of the form (4.13) is
[tex] \overline{\rho}=2\int_{\Delta\omega}\omega^{2}A_{0}^{2}\left(\omega\right)\mathrm{d}\omega [/tex]
[tex] \vec{A}\left(\vec{r},t\right)=2\hat{\varepsilon}\int_{\Delta\omega}A_{0}\left(\omega\right)\cos\mathrm{d}\omega [/tex] (4.13)
[tex] \vec{B}\left(\vec{r},t\right)=\vec{\nabla}\times\vec{A}\left(\vec{r},t\right) [/tex]
[tex] \vec{E}=-\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\vec{A}\left(\vec{r},t\right) [/tex]
[tex] \vec{E} = 2\hat{\varepsilon}\int_{\Delta\omega}\omega A_{0}\left(\omega\right)\sin\left[\left(\vec{k}\cdot\vec{r}-\omega t+\delta_{\omega}\right)\right]\mathrm{d}\omega [/tex]
[tex] \vec{E}^2 = 4\left(\hat{\varepsilon}\int_{\Delta\omega}\omega A_{0}\left(\omega\right)\sin\left[\left(\vec{k}\cdot\vec{r}-\omega t+\delta_{\omega}\right)\right]\mathrm{d}\omega\right)\cdot\left(\hat{\varepsilon}\int_{\Delta\omega}\omega'A_{0}\left(\omega'\right)\sin\left[\left(\vec{k}'\cdot\vec{r}-\omega't+\delta_{\omega'}\right)\right]\mathrm{d}\omega'\right) [/tex]
[tex] \vec{B} = -2\int_{\Delta\omega}A_{0}\left(\omega\right)\left\{ \sin\left[\left(\vec{k}\cdot\vec{r}-\omega t+\delta_{\omega}\right)\right]\vec{k}\times\hat{\varepsilon}\right\} \mathrm{d}\omega [/tex]
[tex] \vec{B}^2 = 4\left(\int_{\Delta\omega}A_{0}\left(\omega\right)\left\{ \sin\left[\left(\vec{k}\cdot\vec{r}-\omega t+\delta_{\omega}\right)\right]\vec{k}\times\hat{\varepsilon}\right\} \mathrm{d}\omega\right)\cdot\left(\int_{\Delta\omega}A_{0}\left(\omega'\right)\left\{ \sin\left[\left(\vec{k}'\cdot\vec{r}-\omega't+\delta_{\omega'}\right)\right]\vec{k}'\times\hat{\varepsilon}\right\} \mathrm{d}\omega'\right) [/tex]
I know (I did it) that if I can somehow get rid of the random phases and of one of the integrals with a dirac delta I'll get the result I need, but I don't know how to do that.
