| Abstract: | After a short introduction into the scattering theory for electromagnetic time harmonic plane waves by an inhomogeneous medium with (possibly anisotropic) dielectricity I will adress the question under which assumptions the corresponding far field operator is injective. This leads to an unusual non self adjoint eigenvalue problem. I will show how to prove discreteness of the spectrum and existence of real eigenvalues. |
