MAXWELL EQUATIONS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE PROPAGATION

Yongqi Fu

Abstract

Basic theory, electromagnetic field, and surface plasmons, were described briefly in this chapter. Maxwell equations and electromagnetic wave propagation were illustrated. Finally, metal optics and surface plasmon poloritons excitation were presented. They are essential issues for the theory of plasmonics and Nanophotonics.
