Construction of Planar Multilayer Dyadic Greens Functions by Fourier Expansion Method - Part I: Isotropic Media

Abstract

In this paper, we have derived planar multilayer dyadic Greens functions by Fourier expansion method and have checked its correctness by comparing results for reflected electric fields from dipole emissions near such structures available in previous literature. Furthermore, we show how these dyadic Greens functions can be applied to calculate reflected fields from a dipole source with arbitrary orientations. We believe our formulation will be powerful in the modeling of molecular fluorescence near these structures.
