Complete far-field asymptotic series for free fields.

چکیده
The closed form of the complete far-field asymptotic series is provided for the scalar and electromagnetic monochromatic fields in free space whose angular spectrum is smooth over the sphere of directions. The first few terms of this series are also shown to give corrections to the Fraunhofer diffraction formula. The application of this series is illustrated with two examples corresponding to a highly focused radially polarized field and to the scalar diffraction from a circular aperture.

Effective Field Theories as Asymptotic Series: From QCD to Cosmology
We present some generic arguments demonstrating that an effective Lagrangian Leff which, by definition, contains operators O n of arbitrary dimensionality in general is not convergent, but rather an asymptotic series. It means that the behavior of the far distant terms has a specific factorial dependence Leff ∼ ∑ n cnO Mn , cn ∼ n!, n ≫ 1. We discuss a few apparently different problems, which h...
متن کاملGeneral Analytic Correction for Probe-Position Errors in Spherical Near-Field Measurements
A general theoretical procedure is presented to remove known probe-position errors in spherical near-field data to obtain highly accurate far fields. We represent the measured data as a Taylor series in terms of the displacement errors and the ideal spectrum of the antenna. This representation is then assumed to be an actual near field on a regularly spaced error-free spherical grid. The ideal ...
متن کاملSelf-Fields Effects on Gain in a Helical Wiggler Free Electron Laser with Ion-Channel Guiding and Axial Magnetic Field
In this paper, we have investigated the effects of self-fields on gain in a helical wiggler free electron laser with axial magnetic field and ion-channel guiding. The self-electric and self-magnetic fields of a relativistic electron beam passing through a helical wiggler are analyzed. The electron trajectories and the small signal gain are derived. Numerical investigation is shown that for grou...
متن کاملReconstructing the Local Twist of Coronal Magnetic Fields and the Three-Dimensional Shape of the Field Lines from Coronal Loops in EUV and X-Ray Images
Non-linear force-free fields are the most general case of force-free fields, but the hardest to model as well. There are numerous methods of computing such fields by extrapolating vector magnetograms from the photosphere, but very few attempts have so far made quantitative use of coronal morphology. We present a method to make such quantitative use of X-Ray and EUV images of coronal loops. Each...

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic$p>0$, $K[[x]]$, the ring of formal power series over $ K$,$K((x))$, the quotient field of $ K[[x]]$, and $ K(x)$ the fieldof rational functions over $K$. We shall give somecharacterizations of an algebraic function $fin K((x))$ over $K$.Let $L$ be a field of characteristic zero. The power series $finL[[x]]$ is called differentially algebraic, if it satisfies...
