Electromagnetic energy in multilayered spherical particles

Optics 2019-09-20 v1

Abstract

We obtain exact analytic expressions for (i) the electromagnetic energy radial density within and outside a multilayered sphere and (ii) the total electromagnetic energy stored within its core and each of its shells. Explicit expressions for the special cases of lossless core and shell are also provided. The general solution is based on compact recursive transfer-matrix method and its validity includes also magnetic media. The theory is illustrated on the examples of electric field enhancement within various metallo-dielectric silica-gold multilayered spheres. User-friendly MATLAB code which includes the theoretical treatment, is available as a supplement to the paper.
