Embark on a comprehensive exploration of high-Q dielectric resonators. The book covers various shapes, introducing innovative scattering theories and new perspectives on coupling coefficients. It breaks ground by investigating coupled oscillations in diverse resonator types, shapes, and dielectrics, extending to frequency-detuned resonators and lattice formations. The revolutionary S-matrix methodology is presented with practical applications, including complex structures like optical microcavities. The book concludes by delving into the time domain, exploring pulse scattering and radiation by antenna arrays of dielectric resonators. Primarily targeted at researchers, engineers, and students in electromagnetics, materials science, and physics. This work uniquely combines theoretical depth with practical applications in high-Q dielectric resonators.
