The Sommerfeld half-space problem revisited: from radio frequencies and Zenneck waves to visible light and Fano modes

Abstract: The classical Sommerfeld half-space problem is revisited, with generalizations to multilayer and plasmonic media and focus on the surface field computation. A new ab initio solution is presented for an arbitrarily oriented Hertzian dipole radiating in the presence of a material half-space with arbitrary horizontal stratification. The solution method combines the vector potential approach and the spectral domain transmission line analog of the medium, which results in the most compact formulation and facilitate… Show more

“…VMD = vertical magnetic dipole; HMD = horizontal magnetic dipole. Electromagnetic (EM) waves propagation from Hertzian dipoles in the presence of isotropic layered media has been extensively investigated since the pioneering work by Sommerfeld in 1909(Sommerfeld, 1909, 1926 to the present time (Fei et al, 2007;Guzatov et al, 2013;Guzatov & Klimov, 2014;Liao & Sarabandi, 2007;Liu & Li, 2007;Long et al, 2001;Michalski & Mosig, 2016;Wang et al, 2014Wang et al, , 2015. As a result, the EM fields from a vertical magnetic dipole (VMD) or a horizontal magnetic dipole (HMD) in the presence of a two-layered or multilayered region have been presented in analytical closed-form expressions by many researchers, in particular, by Wait (1961Wait ( , 1996Wait ( , 1969Wait ( , 1972Wait ( , 1982.…”
