  • Abstract
    The concept of the group velocity of electromagnetic fields is examined for waves that propagate through an isotropic lossless dielectric medium whose permittivity is varying periodically with respect to both space and time. It is found that the group velocity represents the velocity of energy transport averaged over the length of a periodicity cell.
