Monochromatic electromagnetic wavelets and the Huygens principle

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

For the first time, to our knowledge, optical diffraction is shown to be a wavelet transform with the electromagnetic wavelets. We show that the optical wavelets proposed by Onural [Opt. Lett. 18 , 846 (1993)] are the Huygens wavelets under a Fresnel approximation, and the electromagnetic wavelets proposed by Kaiser [A Friendly Guide to Wavelets (Birkhauser, Boston, Mass., 1994)] reduce to Hyugens wavelets in the case of a monochromatic field.
