Se p 20 07 On Localized “ X - shaped ” Superluminal Solutions to Maxwell Equations

چکیده
– In this paper we extend for the case of Maxwell equations the " X-shaped " solutions previously found in the case of scalar (e.g., acoustic) wave equations. Such solutions are localized in theory: i.e., diffraction-free and particle-like (wavelets), in that they maintain their shape as they propagate. In the electromagnetic case they are particularly interesting, since they are expected to be Superluminal. We address also the problem of their practical, approximate production by finite (dynamic) radiators. Finally, we discuss the appearance of the X-shaped solutions from the purely geometric point of view of the Special Relativity theory.

Se p 20 02 Superluminal Localized Solutions to Maxwell Equations propagating along a waveguide : The finite - energy case ( † ) Michel
In a previous paper we have shown localized (non-evanescent) solutions to Maxwell equations to exist, which propagate without distortion with Superluminal speed along normal-sized waveguides, and consist in trains of “X-shaped” beams. Those solutions possessed therefore infinite energy. In this note we show how to obtain, by contrast, finite-energy solutions, with the same localization and Supe...

In a previous paper we showed that localized Superluminal solutions to the Maxwell equations exist, which propagate down (non-evanescence) regions of a metallic cylindrical waveguide. In this paper we construct analogous non-dispersive waves propagating along coaxial cables. Such new solutions, in general, consist in trains of (undistorted) Superluminal “X-shaped” pulses. Particular attention i...

متن کاملThe X - shaped , localized field generated by a Superluminal electric charge ( † )
It is now wellknown that Maxwell equations admit of wavelet-type solutions endowed with arbitrary group-velocities (0 < vg <∞). Some of them, which are rigidly moving and have been called localized solutions, attracted large attention. In particular, much work has been done with regard to the Superluminal localized solutions (SLS), the most interesting of which resulted to be the “X-shaped” one...
