Abstract

The Fourier transform method can be applied to obtain electromagnetic knots, which are solutions of Maxwell equations in a vacuum with non-trivial topology of the field lines and special properties. The program followed in this work allows us to present the main ideas and the explicit calculations at undergraduate level, so they are not obscured by a more involved formulation. We make use of the helicity basis for calculating the electromagnetic helicity and the photon content of the fields.
