Dirac-Maxwell equations; monopoles; quantum electrodynamics; dyons; quaternions; conservation theorems; te, tm, tem-modes

Dirac-Maxwell equations with magnetic monopoles are generalized to electromagnetic fields by introducing fourth components to the fields and their solutions are obtained. The formalism is presented into tensor, dyonic as well as quaternionic forms and conservation theorems for the field energy and momenta are obtained involving the new contribution from the mutual interaction of the fields and currents. The generation of the standard modeste, tm andtem ofem waves is also obtained in the formalism.
