Operator methods in optics: paraxial propagation in inhomogeneous media, an exact treatment

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We use an already suggested operator method to treat paraxial-wave propagation in an inhomogeneous medium. The conditions under which exact solutions can be found are discussed. A possible effect of this method on the study of pulse propagation in a nonlinear-index medium is also described.
