چکیده
The group-velocity of evanescent waves (in undersized waveguides, for instance) was theoretically predicted, and has been experimentally verified, to be Superluminal (vg > c). By contrast, it is known that the precursor speed in vacuum cannot be larger than c. In this paper, by computer simulations based on Maxwell equations only, we show the existence of both phenomena. In other words, we verify the actual possibility of Superluminal group velocities, without violating the so-called (naive) Einstein causality. PACS nos.: 73.40Gk, 03.80+z, 03.65Bz

متن کاملA New Method for Calculating Propagation Modes of a One Dimensional Photonic Crystal (RESEARCH NOTE)
Photonic band-gap (PBG) crystals offer new dimensions of freedom in controlling propagation of electromagnetic waves. The existence of stop-bands in the transmission characteristic of these crystals makes them a suitable element for the realization of many useful microwave and optical subsystems. In this paper, we calculate the propagation constant of a one-dimensional (1-D) photonic crystal by...
متن کاملWave Propagation in Random Waveguides with Long-Range Correlations
In this paper we consider an acoustic waveguide with random fluctuations of its sound speed profile. These random perturbations are assumed to have long-range correlation properties. In waveguides a monochromatic wave can be decomposed in propagating modes and evanescent modes, and the random perturbation couples all these modes. Using asymptotic analysis of the modecoupling mechanism we give a...
