Classification of dispersion equations for homogeneous, dielectric-magnetic, uniaxial materials

The geometric representation at a fixed frequency of the wave vector (or dispersion) surface ω(k) for lossless, homogeneous, dielectric-magnetic uniaxial materials is explored for the case when the elements of the relative permittivity and permeability tensors of the material can have any sign. Elec...
