Unusual electromagnetic disturbances

Robert Paul Cameron

Abstract

We introduce unusual electromagnetic disturbances resembling rings, loops, links, globules, lines, knots, roses and clouds. Each of these is an exact solution of Maxwell's equations with looped electric and magnetic field lines of finite extent, a localised appearance in all three spatial dimensions and a monochromatic time dependence. The generation of our unusual electromagnetic disturbances in the laboratory is briefly considered and some possible directions for future research are highlighted.
