Opis

The propagation of light in dispersive media is a subject of fundamental as well as practical importance. This work focuses on the fact that superluminal group velocities are not in conflict with special relativity and to the role of quantum effects in preventing superluminal communication and violations of Einstein causality.

Recenzje

"This book explores three modern topics of electromagnetic field propagation … which are perhaps the most studied aspects of the field but also the most controversial. … The author explains … many issues very clearly … . He is one of those rare scientific authors who is able to describe difficult subjects in a very straightforward and pedagogical manner. This book belongs on the nearest shelf of anybody who is working in electromagnetics, at either optical or lower frequencies."
