Abstract

We study the uniqueness of solutions of Helmholtz equation for a problem that concerns wave propagation in waveguides. The classical radiation condition does not apply to our problem because the inhomogeneity of the index of refraction extends to infinity in one direction. Also, because of the presence of a waveguide, some waves propagate in one direction with different propagation constants and without decaying in amplitude.

We provide an explicit condition for uniqueness for rectilinear waveguides, which takes into account the physically significant components, corresponding to guided and non‐guided waves; this condition reduces to the classical Sommerfeld–Rellich condition in the relevant cases.

By a careful asymptotic analysis we prove that the solution derived by Magnanini and Santosa (SIAM J. Appl. Math. 2001; 61:1237–1252) for stratified media satisfies our radiation condition. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, a novel TLM algorithm for electromagnetic wave propagation in chiral media is presented. One of the main characteristics of the electromagnetic response of such media is the rotation of the polarization plane. The obtained TLM results for a monochromatic source are compared with the t
