Vanishing Energy ----Energy in Dispersive Media 07300190021 徐小凡
Contradiction • in Lecture 19:
What's ε? • ε('s time-domain expansion) is a response function with following properties: • time-translation invariant • initial condition independent • finite • causality
Provided ε/ε0 is not alway equal to 1, there exists Im ε/ε0, i.e. energy dissipation (proved later). • Provided ε/ε0 is not alway equal to 1, there exists dispersion.
The imaginary part of ε introduces the decay in propagation, i.e. energy absorption.
Reference for more details: either of • Jackson 7.10 • Landau §82 • 数学物理方法,胡嗣柱,pp138
A simple example • Damping is essential for a periodic forced oscillation, or fundamentally speaking, a response function.
Return to Energy • modification upon equation of continuity: instead of considering the temporally non-locality and non-linear operation of energy
analysis of Split the integrand into two equal parts and in one make the substitutions, ω-> -ω', ω'-> -ω, and use the reality constraints to obtain
We now suppose that the electric field is dominated by frequency components in a relatively narrow range compared to the characteristic frequency interval over whichε(ω) changes appreciably. • Thus,
more compactly while and in Lecture 18
Something about μ • Is μ also a similar response function like ε? • Go to Landau §82, and he will show the slight difference.
