Numerical study of scattered electromagnetic field inside a hollow dielectric cylinder. 2: Scattering of two
Abstract:
The structure of the scattered field inside a hollow lossless dielectric cylinder in the case of two incident TM waves has been discussed. Results are given for the case of opposite directions of incidence, under positive and negative phase-matched conditions of two beams of equal amplitude. It has been shown that so far as high irradiance over a small region is concerned, the effective gain is less than that of the case of a single incident beam. However, the advantage here is the symmetry of the field distribution.

Electromagnetic Waves in Matter
Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the medium, μ.
Furthermore, the...
Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...
