Superluminal Localized Waves of Electromagnetic Field in Vacuo
Presented is an overview of electromagnetic versions of the so-called X-type waves intensively studied since their invention in early 1990.-ies in ultrasonics. These waves may be extremely localized both laterally and longitudinally and – what has been considered as most startling – propagate superluminally without apparent spread. Spotlighted are the issues of the relativistic causality, varie...
متن کاملSingular polarimetry: evolution of polarization singularities in electromagnetic waves propagating in a weakly anisotropic medium.
We describe the evolution of a paraxial electromagnetic wave characterizing by a non-uniform polarization distribution with singularities and propagating in a weakly anisotropic medium. Our approach is based on the Stokes vector evolution equation applied to a non-uniform initial polarization field. In the case of a homogeneous medium, this equation is integrated analytically. This yields a 3-d...
متن کاملHyperbolicity singularities in rarefaction waves∗
For mixed-type systems of conservation laws, rarefaction waves may contain states at the boundary of the elliptic region, where two characteristic speeds coincide, and the Lax family of the wave changes. Such contiguous rarefaction waves form a single fan with a continuous profile. Different pairs of families may appear in such rarefactions, giving rise to novel Riemann solution structures. We ...
متن کاملSingularities of electromagnetic fields in polyhedral domains
In this paper, we investigate the singular solutions of time harmonic Maxwell equations in a domain which has edges and polyhedral corners. It is now well known that in the presence of non-convex edges, the solution elds have no square inte-grable gradients in general and that the main singularities are the gradients of singular functions of the Laplace operator. We show how this type of result...
متن کاملCorrelation singularities in partially coherent electromagnetic beams.
We demonstrate that coherence vortices, singularities of the correlation function, generally occur in partially coherent electromagnetic beams. In successive cross sections of Gaussian Schell-model beams, their locus is found to be a closed string. These coherence singularities have implications for both interference experiments and correlation of intensity fluctuation measurements performed wi...
