Transient Response and Huygen-Fresnel.

Abstract

The Huygen-Fresnel formulation for analysis of the propagation of an electromagnetic wavefront is extended from the monochromatic, steady state condition to the transient condition. The propagation of a plane wave and the transient response of a simple lens are analyzed to illustrate the application of the technique and to show that the results are consistent with those expected from the more familiar steady state formulations.
