Classification of dispersion equations for homogeneous, dielectric-magnetic, uniaxial materials
The geometric representation at a fixed frequency of the wave vector (or dispersion) surface omega(k) for lossless, homogeneous, dielectric-magnetic uniaxial materials is explored for the case when the elements of the relative permittivity and permeability tensors of the material can have any sign. Electromagnetic plane waves propagating inside the material …
