  • Abstract
    Conditions on the metric coefficients are derived in order for a three-dimensional electromagnetic field in a source free homogeneous space to be decomposed into transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) parts. The relationship between scalar and vector potentials and the equation satisfied by the vector potential component are also given.
