Overview
This text introduces and examines a variety of spectral computational techniques - including k-space theory, Floquet theory and beam propagation - that are used to analyze electromagnetic and optical problems. The book also presents a solution to Maxwell's equations from a set of first order coupled partial differential equations.

The book is directed towards graduate students and researchers but selected sections would provide valuable undergraduate teaching material. It is the type of wide-ranging reference book that will find its way onto many bookshelves and, over the years, will become well-worn from frequent use.Booknews
Addressing the computational methods that should be applied to the analysis and design of electromagnetic and optical systems, this volume describes solutions to Maxwell's equations that can be applied to the analysis of diffraction gratings, radiation, and scattering from dielectric objects and holograms in photorefractive materials. The basics of how electromagnetic radiation is transmitted, reflected, and refracted through one- and two-dimensional isotropic and anisotropic materials are followed by discussion of one- and two- dimensional Fourier transform theory and the application of the alternative method of split-step beam propagation to inhomogeneous media. Other computational methods covered include coupled-wave analysis of inhomogeneous cylindrical and spherical systems, state variable methods for the propagation of anisotropic waveguide systems, and rigorous coupled wave analysis for photorefractive devices and systems.
