Solving Maxwell’s Equations in Space-time: The Wave Equation

Author(s):  
H. P. Künzle

AbstractIt is shown that Huygens's principle holds for the solutions of Maxwell's equations for p-forms of all degrees in a gravitational plane wave space, while the solutions of the wave equation for 1, 2, and 3-forms, however, may have tails.

When space (time) translation symmetry is spontaneously broken, the space crystal (time crystal) forms; when permittivity and permeability periodically vary with space (time), the photonic space crystal (photonic time crystal) forms. We rewrote Maxwell’s equations in photonic time crystal, and discretized Maxwell’s equations with finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, deduced the discretized electric and magnetic field, and simulated electromagnetic wave propagation in two-dimensional (2D) photonic space-time crystal and photonic space crystal (or photonic crystal), and discussed the effect of parameters on the band gap.
