Covers the coupling of waves in periodic structures, focusing on the reflection coefficient for one period and the limitations of the Coupling of Modes approach.
Introduces the basics of wave propagation, covering longitudinal and transverse waves, superposition, reflection, d'Alembert equation, Fourier decomposition, and wave surfaces.
Explores the wave equation for electromagnetic fields, the propagation of electromagnetic waves, the fundamental velocity of light, and the concept of polarization.
