Transmission des signaux perpendiculairement à un milieu stratifié périodique: étude fréquentielle

The authors consider the propagation of electromagnetic and elastic waves in a medium consisting of alternating layers of two different homogeneous isotropic and nonabsorbing substances. The waves are assumed harmonic and plane and their propagation is perpendicular to the layers. They show the existence of frequency ranges for which the wave propagation is possible and other ones where the waves are vanishing. The dispersion property of this medium is analysed; for low frequencies, the propagation velocity is shown smaller than the expected mean velocity. At last, a detailed work gives the transfer functions for transmission and reflection of the double linear filter constituted of the layered medium set between two homogeneous isotropic media. They pay attention to the isochronous layered medium.     

Transverse Magnetic Wave Propagation in Sinusoidally Stratified Dielectric Media

The problem of the propagation of TM waves in a sinusoidally stratified dielectric medium is considered. The propagation characteristics are determined from the stability diagram of the resultant Hill's equation. Numerical results show that the stability diagrams for Hill's equation and those for Mathieu's equation are quite different. Consequently, the dispersion properties of TM waves and TE waves in this stratified medium are also different. Detailed dispersion characteristics of TM waves in an infinite stratified medium and in waveguides filled longitudinally with this stratified material are obtained.     

Calculation of the propagation constants of TM electromagnetic waves in a nonlinear layer

Propagation of TM electromagnetic waves through a nonlinear homogeneous isotropic nonmagnetic dielectric layer is considered. The layer is located between two homogeneous isotropic half-spaces. The dispersion equation for the propagation constants of the waves in the layer and the first approximation for these constants are presented. The propagation constants for the cases of a linear medium and a nonlinear medium in the layer are compared. The linear and nonlinear cases and the first approximation are analyzed. Calculation results are presented.

Propagation of elastic waves in phononic crystals

Propagation of elastic waves in a system of cylindrical channels embedded in a homogeneous isotropic elastic medium (a phononic crystal) is investigated. A multipole method is proposed for simulation of wave propagation in such structures. The dispersion characteristics of wave propagation in systems consisting of three, six, and seven cylindrical channels are calculated. The results are compared to the data corresponding to wave propagation along a single channel. The computational efficiency of the method and its applicability to simulation of the propagation of elastic waves in large phononic crystals are assessed.     

Plane waves in a magnetoionic medium

With a view to elucidating the difficulties inherent in the treatment of wave propagation in a magnetoionic medium in terms of homogeneous plane waves, the theory of homogeneous plane waves in such a medium is reviewed with particular emphasis on the properties of the time-averaged Poynting vector.     

The time-frequency interpretation for transient evolution of wavepropagation through dispersive medium

The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a linear, dispersive Lorentz medium is calculated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method; their time-frequency (TF) characteristics are studied using the Gabor extension. Numerical results show that the TF spectrum gives a clear interpretation for transient evolution of ultra wideband pulse propagation through a Lorentz medium     

波导参数和传播常数对光折变表面波的影响

基于质点振荡的模型和数值模拟的方法,研究了波导参数和传播常数对光折变晶体与线性电介质界面光折变表面波类型和局域表面波模的影响。当波导参数大于传播常数时,在光折变晶体与线性电介质界面可以产生非局域表面波。当波导参数小于传播常数时,在光折变晶体与线性电介质界面可以产生振荡表面波和局域表面波。在局域表面波形成的系统内,正波导参数的光波能量比负波导参数的光波能量在光折变晶体内聚集得多。在给定一个局域表面波形成的物理系统,传播常数越大,表面波在线性电介质和光折变晶体中衰减就越快,对应表面波模的波峰离界面就越近。     

Propagation characteristics of magnetostatic waves

The present paper reviews the propagation characteristics of the three magnetostatic wave-types that can exist in a ferrimagnetic film such as the commonly used epitaxial yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) film, viz., magnetostatic surface waves (MSSWs), magnetostatic forward volume waves (MSFVWs) and magnetostatic backward volume waves (MSBVWs). The pronounced inherent dispersiveness of these waves and methods of controlling or tailoring dispersion are discussed. Other propagation characteristics such as diffraction and propagation loss and the envelope distortion of acw pulse in propagating through such a dispersive medium are briefly described.     

Anisotropic dielectric properties of media containing aligned nonspherical scatterers

Electromagnetic wave propagation in a medium containing a random distribution of aligned, pair-correlated nonspherical scatterers is studied using theT-matrix to characterize the single scatterer response, the quasicrystalline approximation (QCA) and the correlation function. The resulting dispersion equation for the average medium is numerically solved as a function of frequency and the direction of propagation. Numerical results are presented for the attenuation of electromagnetic waves versus frequency, concentration, and direction of propagation.     

Wave propagation and profile inversion in lossy inhomogeneous media

Using the Lagrangian approach, a time-domain analysis of wave propagation in an inhomogeneous lossy medium is described. We consider a half-space problem (x ≥ 0) in which the medium is plane stratified in the direction of propagation and can be modeled by a piecewise uniform lossy transmission line. A method of profile inversion which is based directly upon quantities measured in time at the sending end boundary is presented. The problem of uniqueness is discussed. For a given medium, computer simulation results obtained by using the known reflected waves at the boundary x = 0 are shown.     

Signal processing in a nonperiodically time-varying magnetoelastic medium

Wave propagation in a nonperiodically time-varying medium provides a means for realizing in simple physical structures a variety of signal-processing operations, such as frequency translation and coding, variable delay recall, gating, time-scale stretching or shrinking, and time reversal. The use of low-velocity modes, such as acoustic, spin, or magnetoelastic waves in solids, reduces the length of the propagation structure required to less than an inch. A general review is given of the principles of wave propagation in a spatially uniform medium with nonperiodic time variation. Both abrupt and gradual time variations are discussed. Illustrations are given for the cases of spin-wave and magnetoelastic-wave propagation and signal processing operations in these media are explained. Consideration is given to the problem of spin-wave propagation in a time-and space-varying magnetic field of the form encountered in experiments; and it is shown that a simple separated variable solution exists. For the more difficult problem of magnetoelastic propagation with both space and time variations, an approximate space-time ray theory is described. Experimental results for pulsed-field processing of spin and magnetoelastic waves are given and related to the theory.

等离子体中的涡旋电磁波传播研究

目前对涡旋电磁波的产生方法及应用已经有很多理论及实验上的研究,但对于其传播过程的研究还非常缺乏,尤其是在电离层等离子体中的传播过程的研究. 本文建立了柱坐标系下的时域有限差分方法模型,推导了柱坐标系下的边界吸收方法,在此基础上计算了涡旋电磁波在真空及等离子体中的传播过程,同时模拟了等离子体密度在涡旋电磁波作用下的时空演化过程. 模拟结果表明:通过阵列天线模型产生的涡旋电磁波在真空中传播时涡旋的形状不会改变;在等离子体介质中,涡旋波的传播依然遵循线性理论,当涡旋电磁波遇到截止频率的等离子体时也会有明显的反射,并产生驻波;同时,在等离子体中涡旋波依然可以保持涡旋形态;涡旋波对等离子体的线性作用使得等离子体也呈现出涡旋态,与实验中的观测相符. 以上的模拟结果能为涡旋电磁波加热电离层的实验以及未来在短波通信方面的应用提供理论支持. 本文建立的涡旋波在等离子体中的传播模型也为进一步研究涡旋波与等离子体的非线性相互作用打下了基础.     

Time Division Circular Polarization: A Simple Technique for Increasing Propagation Experiment Productivity

A simple technique, time division circular polarization (TDCP), is described which permits the simultaneous measurement of attenuation and depolarization for two orthogonal linearly polarized waves and two orthogonal circularly polarized waves in a slowly varying linear propagation medium using only a single frequency beacon switched between two linearly polarized antenna ports.     

Propagation Velocity of Electromagnetic Signals

The propagation velocity of electromagnetic signals has been a vexing problem for about a century. The often-mentioned group velocity fails on two accounts, one being that it is generally larger than the velocity of light for waves in the atmosphere; the other that its derivation implies a transmission rate of information equal to zero. The reason why this problem has resisted a solution for so long is that Maxwell's equations fail for signals propagating in a lossy medium. The propagation velocity is of interest only in a lossy medium, since its value in a loss-free medium has been known since d'Alembert's solution of the wave equation. For infinite signal-to-noise ratios and ideal receivers, the propagation velocity of signals in media with ohmic losses equals the velocity of light; it decreases with decreasing signal-to-noise ratio and eventually approaches zero.     

Propagation of Cladded Inhomogeneous Dielectric Waveguides

An approximate theory on the propagation of modes in an arbitrarily inhomogeneous optical waveguide embedded in a homogeneous medium is presented. Simple formulas are given, whereby the propagation constants can be determined assuming that the analytic solution is known in the absence of cladding. The results obtained applying the theory to a truncated parabolic-index profile are shown to be in good agreement with those obtained by the rigorous analysis. The theory is also applied to the propagation of TE and TM waves in truncated near-parabolic-index media.     

Polarization transformation of a wave field propagating in ananisotropic medium

The momentous experimental discovery of the Faraday (1846) effect is sketched from a historical perspective, through the eyes of several well-known scientists. This effect and its generalization can be explained theoretically by using the dispersion theory for waves propagating in an anisotropic medium. A wave of arbitrary initial polarization will have its wave polarization transformed continuously as it propagates. It is convenient to represent this continuous polarization transformation by a locus in the polarization-ratio plane. In a lossless medium, when both characteristic waves are propagating, this locus is a circle. Five cases in a magneto-ionic medium have been investigated for different propagation angles. The results are discussed and illustrated
