Abstract
The electromagnetic field in stratified media has been intensively investigated for over a century. In this chapter, we conduct a formal review on the electromagnetic field in stratified media. Attention should be paid to early analytical contributions on the electromagnetic field in two half-spaces by Zenneck and Sommerfeld. The subsequent contributions by other pioneers, such as Van der Pol, Baños, Fock, Wait, and King, are outlined. From the new developments on the electromagnetic field of a dipole in the presence of a three-layered region, it is seen that a trapped surface wave can be excited efficiently when both the dipole and the observation point are on or close to the boundary.

This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
