Abstract

An alternative expression for the Poynting vector for monitoring electromagnetic energy flow in confined regions of evanescent waves is presented. This expression is an intrinsic integrable function of the boundary problem solution in the method of single expression (MSE). The peculiarity of the MSE is the fact that it does not exploit the superposition principle by representing solutions of the Helmholtz equation as a sum of counter propagating waves in the medium, but rather considers resulting wave with certain amplitude and phase by solving special set of the MSE equations with backward calculation approach. This permits to have a universal expression for the Poynting vector appropriate both for media of a positive product of permittivity and permeability and of a negative product of these values that is relevant to the region of evanescent waves. For the boundary problem solution carried out numerically by the MSE it is possible to observe distributions of not only electric and magnetic field amplitudes, but also the Poynting vector in any confined media including regions of evanescent waves. The presented alternative expression for the Poynting vector in the MSE is in complete agreement with the traditional representation of the Poynting vector for the medium where it is defined.
