Summary
In this chapter, we apply wavelet ideas to electromagnetic waves, i.e., solutions of Maxwell's equations. This is possible and natural because Maxwell's equations in free space are invariant under a large group of symmetries (the conformal group of space-time) that includes translations and dilations, the basic operations of wavelet theory.
