Fat Rays Revisited: A Synthesis of Physical and Geometrical Optics with Gaußlets

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Decomposed into Gaußlets (Gaussian beamlets or “fat rays”), a diffracting wavefield can be propagated through an optical system by simple ray tracing. As an update to a 1990 ILDC presentation, the method’s progress since then is covered along with new comparisons against more precise solutions.
