Electromagnetic Modes Of An Inhomogeneous Sphere, Lee W. Casperson Apr 1975

Electromagnetic Modes Of An Inhomogeneous Sphere, Lee W. Casperson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Vector wave solutions are derived for the electromagnetic modes of a sphere having radial variations of the refractive index and gain. For some inhomogeneity models, confined-mode solutions exist. The results are applicable to the refracting atmospheres of stars and planets.
