The present paper is a continuation of [10] where we have proved the principle of limiting absorption for uniformly propagative systems with perturbations of long-range class. In this paper, we consider the Maxwell equation in crystal optics as an important example of non-uniformly propagative systems and, under the same assumptions on perturbations as in [10], we prove the principle of limiting absorption for the stationary problem associated with this equation by using a way similar to that in [10]. We here restrict our consideration to a very special class of non-uniformly propagative systems, but the method developed in this paper will be applicable to more general systems for which non-zero roots of characteristic equations of unperturbed systems are at most double. For another works on the spectral and scattering problems for non-uniformly propagative systems with perturbations of short-range class, see [1], [5], [6], [7] and [8], etc.
