Features: Based on Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic fields, this book systematically explains the electromagnetic theory of light, which describes the propagation and control of light waves. It primarily uses the mode theory and coupling mode theory of electromagnetic fields of light waves to discuss the propagation laws of light waves in various media. Chapter discusses the propagation of light in isotropic media, providing the electromagnetic theoretical foundation of light; Chapter 2 discusses the propagation of light in anisotropic media; Chapter 3 mainly discusses the propagation of light in layered distributed non-uniform media; Chapter 4 discusses the propagation of light in finite space media such as planar optical waveguides and optical fibers; Chapter 5, based on linear optics, discusses the fundamental theories of nonlinear optics, which are frequently applied; Chapter 6, based on the electromagnetic field theory of light wave propagation, further discusses the electromagnetic theories of several physical effects that control the propagation characteristics of light waves. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate students in optical engineering, physical electronics, optics, and physics majors taking the course "Electromagnetic Theory of Light." It can also be used as a reference book for teachers, students, and scientific and technical personnel in related fields.
