Biography/History:

Muhammad Faryad is an assistant professor of physics at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. He received his BSc degree in mathematics and physics from the Punjab University, his MSc and MPhil degrees, both in electronics, from the Quaid-i-Azam University, and his PhD in engineering science and mechanics from the Pennsylvania State University. He is a section editor of Optik: International Journal for Light and Electron Optics. His current research interests include electromagnetics of complex mediums, surface electromagnetic waves, photonic crystals, and solar cells. Akhlesh Lakhtakia is the Charles Godfrey Binder (endowed) Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at the Pennsylvania State University and Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. He received his BTech and DSc degrees in electronics engineering from the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, and his MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Utah. He was the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Nanophotonics from its inception in 2007 until 2013.

Summary:

In any linear system the input and the output are connected by means of a linear operator. When the input can be notionally represented by a function that is null valued everywhere except at a specific location in spacetime, the corresponding output is called the Green function in field theories. Dyadic Green functions are commonplace in electromagnetics, because both the input and the output are vector functions of space and time. This book provides a survey of the state-of-the-art knowledge of infinite-space dyadic Green functions. Part of Series on Electromagnetics and Metamaterials
