|February 1, 2024
Abstract:
A semi-analytical computational algorithm to model the wave field generated by paraxial diffraction of a class of Laguerre-Gauss beams by sharp-edge elliptic apertures is here developed. Thanks to such a powerful computational tool, some basic aspects of an intriguing and still unexplored singular optics scenario can be studied, within a geometry as simple as possible, with arbitrarily high accuracies.

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Divergence and Curl of Electric Field
5.7K
The divergence of a vector is a measure of how much the vector spreads out (diverges) from a point. For example, an electric field vector diverges from the positive charge and converges at the negative charge. The divergence of an electric field is derived using Gauss's law and is equal to the charge density divided by the permittivity of space. Mathematically, it is expressed as
