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

AI Thread 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 '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
