What is the textbook for optical waveguide theory using matrix notation?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a specific textbook on optical waveguide theory that utilizes matrix notation. A participant recalls using matrix notation during their course but cannot remember the textbook title or locate their notes. They seek assistance from others in identifying the correct source. One suggestion made is "Microoptics: From Technology to Applications" by Jürgen Jahns and Karl-Heinz Brenner, but it is noted that this is not the correct book. The thread highlights the challenge of recalling academic resources and the community's effort to assist in locating the right material.

I remember using matrix notation in my course on optical waveguide theory many years ago. The lecturer was using a textbook which I cannot remember. I have since misplaced my course notes. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to the source textbook? The notation (Eq. 2.20) is attached (found on the web). Thanks in advance.

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
