Fringe Waves in Wedge Diffraction

Abstract

Explicit expressions for the non-uniform currents of the physical theory of diffraction are derived in terms of Fresnel functions for wedge diffraction by taking into account the surface integrals of the modified theory of physical optics. The obtained fringe waves are compared numerically by the asymptotic representations, found in the literature. (C) 2011 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
