Review text

The subject of the article is to analyze the homogenization of the Maxwell equations for periodic material parameters using Bloch waves. The Bloch waves allow to represent the full solution of the Maxwell equations in periodic media and to study the limit process where the material's period becomes much smaller than the wavelength. It is shown that only a few Bloch waves contribute to the macroscopic field, that enables to find explicit representations of the effective material parameters in terms of these waves, providing an alternative means of homogenization. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1029.00072].
