Chapter 7 Angular Spectrum Representation
Chapter 7 Angular Spectrum RepresentationThe Angular Spectrum Representation is a mathematical technique to describe op-tical fields in homogeneous media. Optical fields are described as a superpositionof plane waves and evanescent waves which are physically intuitive solutions ofMaxwell s equations. The Angular Spectrum representationis found to be a verypowerful method for the description of laser beam propagation and light , in the paraxial limit, the Angular Spectrum Representation becomesidentical with the framework of Fourier optics which extends its importance this Chapter we will consider purely monochromatic fieldsof Angular fre-quency , which can be represented as complex fieldsE(r)according to ( 2)E(r,t) = Re{E(r) e i t}.
spread out only slowly in the transverse direction. Examples are laser beam prop-agation or optical waveguide applications. In these examples the wavevectors k = (kx,ky,kz) in the angular spectrum representation are almost parallel to the z-axis and the transverse wavenumbers (kx,ky) are small compared to k. We can then expand the square root ...
