Abstract

Classical electromagnetism and photonics share a common foundation. Light propagation and interaction, even at the nanoscale, is driven by Maxwell’s equations and macroscopic parameterization of materials through their optical and electromagnetic properties. These equations relate the spatial and temporal variations of the displacement electric field.
