Title: | Multipole and plane wave expansions of diverging and converging fields | Authors: | Hoang, T.X. Chen, X. Sheppard, C.J.R. |
Issue Date: | 21-Apr-2014 | Citation: | Hoang, T.X., Chen, X., Sheppard, C.J.R. (2014-04-21). Multipole and plane wave expansions of diverging and converging fields. Optics Express 22 (8) : 8949-8961. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.22.008949 | Abstract: | This paper presents and compares two basis systems, spherical harmonics and plane waves, for studying diverging and converging beams in an optical system. We show a similarity between a converging field and the time reversed field of a radiation field. We present and analyze the differences between the Debye-Wolf diffraction integral and the multipole theory for focusing of polarized light. The Debye-Wolf diffraction integral gives a well-known anomalous behavior on the optical axis and at the edge of the focused beam that can be avoided by using the multipole theory. © 2014 Optical Society of America. | Source Title: | Optics Express | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/82735 | ISSN: | 10944087 | DOI: | 10.1364/OE.22.008949 |
