Exact Gaussian beam #89

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Currently, all beam options are only approximations, which may be
considerably inaccurate for tightly focused beams. Non-approximate
description exist in the literature, but it relies on elaborate
mathematics. The idea is to implement it in ADDA.

Patrick Chaumet have graciously sent me the Fortran routines to exactly 
calculate Gaussian beam about a year ago, but I haven't looked at it in details 
yet. Now a related issue 126 appeared, which raises the priority of this one.

It is also important to have a Gaussian beam in the presence of surface. I am 
not sure, how easy it is to generalize the general framework (or some 
approximations).
