Focus waves modes in homogeneous Maxwell’s equations: Transverse electric mode
Abstract
This paper presents mathematical formulations for new, three-dimensional, packet-like solutions to the free-space homogeneous Maxwell’s equations. These solutions are real, nonsingular, continuous functions which propagate in a straight line at light velocity. They remain focused for all time. The asymptotic behavior of the fields away from the moving pulse center has a magnitude which decreases as the inverse of the distance from the pulse centers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
