Stepwise angular spectrum method for curved surface diffraction

Abstract: We present a method to calculate wave propagation between arbitrary curved surfaces using a staircase approximation approach. The entire curved surface is divided into multiple subregions and each curved subregion is approximated by a piecewise flat subplane allowing the application of conventional diffraction theory. In addition, in order to reflect the local curvature of each subregion, we apply the phase compensation technique. Analytical expressions are derived based on the angular spectrum method and nume… Show more

“…Electromagnetic waves that pass curved surfaces interchanging between refractive indices can be modeled using the staircase method [1], where, for example, the propagation distance is chopped into several subdistances and the x; y section is separated into some areas with refractive index n 1 and others with n 2 . By stating that we have large field extents and large distances to propagate, we like to avoid the staircase approach in order to have a fast and efficient computation algorithm.…”

“…However, most of the sound field calculation methods achieving by integral or finite element analysis may encounter the problem of cumbersome calculation or singularity. Those analytic solutions involve Rayleigh-Sommerfield integral method (Song and Kim, 2002), edge element method (Rahani and Kundu, 2011), angular spectrum method (Hwang et al, 2014), and distributed point source method (Banerjee et al, 2007). By comparison, the multi-Gaussian beam (MGB) model used in this paper has certain advantages in explicit ultrasonic field evaluation because of its high computational efficiency and calculation accuracy (Huang et al, 2005).…”

“…The angular spectrum representation is the most popular formula for optical wave propagation in free space and known as a perfect analytic solution of arbitrary free space optical scalar wave field. In practice, the numerical model derived from the angular spectrum representation is calculated and visualized in the discrete spatial sampling grids [10,11]. Theoretically, the angular spectrum representation is the linear and coherent superposition of infinitely extended plane wave basis with complex amplitude.…”
