Optic Communications, 291 48-51. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.optcom.2012.11.0380030-4018https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/1304The diffraction integral of Kirchhoff is rearranged according to its integral boundaries. The new approach is based on the theory of the edge dislocation waves and provides a more correct field representation for the semi-infinite and infinite integrals in the direct numerical computation. The integral is studied on the diffraction problem of plane waves by a perfectly conducting half-plane. The correctness of the scattering diagrams is compared with the classical approach and the Fresnel integral representation of the scattered waves numericallyeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDiffraction TheoryEdge Dislocation WavesKirchhoff IntegralArticle291485110.1016/j.optcom.2012.11.038
