Evenwiththe exclusionofnonlinearity(exceptinthe lastchap- ter), the panorama of electromagnetic properties within the ambit of this monographisvast—aviewwhichhasbeenwidelyappreciatedforthelast 10 years.

Butisotropyisanabstractionwhichrequiresqualification when applied to real materials. For examples, liquids and random particu- late compositemediums may be isotropicona statisticalbasis,while cubic crystals are isotropic when viewed at macroscopic length–scales. In the frequencydomain,electromagneticallyisotropicmediumsarecharacterized simply by scalar constitutive parameters which relate the induction field phasors D and H to the primitive field phasors E and B. Often, naturally occurring materials and artificially constructed medi- ums are more accurately described as anisotropic rather than isotropic. Anisotropicmediumsexhibitdirectionallydependentelectromagneticprop- erties, such that D is not aligned with E or H is not aligned with B. Dyadics(i.e.,second–rankCartesiantensors)areneededtorelatetheprim- itive and the induction field phasors in anisotropic mediums. No wonder, these mediums exhibit a much more diverse range of phenomenons than isotropic mediums do. A visit to the mineralogicalsection of the local mu- seum should impress upon the reader the array of dazzling optical effects that may be attributed to anisotropy in crystals. Bianisotropyrepresentsthe naturalgeneralizationof anisotropy. In the electromagnetic description of a bianisotropic medium, both D and H are ix x Electromagnetic Anisotropy and Bianisotropy: A Field Guide anisotropically coupled to both E and B. Hence, in general, a linear bian- isotropicmediumischaracterizedbyfour3×3constitutivedyadics. Though seldomdescribedinstandardtextbooks,bianisotropyisinfactaubiquitous phenomenon. Supposeacertainmediumischaracterizedasanisotropicdi- electric medium by an observerin an inertial reference frame Σ. The same medium generally exhibits bianisotropic properties when viewed by an ob- server in another reference frame that translates at uniform velocity with respect to Σ. While naturally occurring materials with easily appreciable bianisotropic properties in normal environmental conditions are relatively rare(viewedfromastationaryreferenceframe),bianisotropicmediumsmay be readily conceptualizedthroughthe process ofhomogenizationof a com- posite of two or more constituent mediums. Bianisotropy looks set to play an increasingly important role in the rapidly burgeoning fields relating to complex mediums and metamaterials. Our aim in this field guide is to extend and update the standard treat- ments of crystal optics found in classical textbooks such as Born & Wolf’s Principles of Optics3 and Nye’s Physical Properties of Crystals4. We pro- videa broadoverviewofelectromagneticanisotropyandbianisotropy. The topics covered are constitutive relations (Chap. 1), examples of anisotropy and bianisotropy (Chap. 2), space–time symmetries (Chap. 3), planewave propagation (Chap. 4), dyadic Green functions including depolarization dyadics (Chap. 5), homogenization formalisms (Chap. 6), and nonlinear aspects (Chap. 7). The target audience comprises graduate students and researchersseekinganintroductorysurveyoftheelectromagnetictheoryof complex mediums. A familiarity with basic electromagnetic theory, and a commensuratelevelofmathematicalexpertise,isassumed. Anappendixis providedtoacquaintthe readerwithdyadicnotationandalgebra.
