    "abstract": "We express the electromagnetic field propagating in an arbitrary\ntime-independent non-dispersive medium in terms of an operator that turns out\nto be pseudo-Hermitian for Hermitian dielectric and magnetic permeability\ntensors Epsilon and Mu. We exploit this property to determine the propagating\nfield. In particular, we obtain an explicit expression for a planar field in an\nisotropic medium with Epsilon and Mu varying along the direction of the\npropagation. We also study the scattering of plane waves due to a localized\ninhomogeneity.",
