Homogenization of dispersive material parameters for Maxwell's equations using a singular value decomposition

Sjöberg, Daniel LU orcid (2004) In Technical Report LUTEDX/(TEAT-7124)/1-24/(2004)
Abstract
We find effective, or homogenized, material parameters for Maxwell’s equations

when the microscopic scale becomes small compared to the scale induced

by the frequencies of the imposed currents. After defining a singular value decomposition

of the non-selfadjoint partial differential operator, we expand the

electromagnetic field in the modes corresponding to the singular values, and

show that only the smallest singular values make a significant contribution to

the total field when the scale is small. The homogenized material parameters

can be represented with the mean values of the singular vectors through a

simple formula, which is valid for wavelengths not necessarily... (More)
