This text introduces and examines a variety of spectral computational techniques - including k-space theory, Floquet theory and beam propagation - that are used to analyze electromagnetic and optical problems. The book also presents a solution to Maxwell's equations from a set of first order coupled partial differential equations.

..."a small but formidable book which rigorously sets out the basic theory, provides useful illustrative problems and directs the reader to relevant further reading from the excellent reference lists. The book is directed towards graduate students and researchers but selected sections would provide valuable undergraduate teaching material. It is the type of wide-ranging reference book that will find its way onto many bookshelves and, over the years, will become well-worn from frequent use." ---ProfBooks.com, 2001
