On energy conditions for electromagnetic diffraction by apertures. (English) Zbl 1247.78012

Authors’ abstract: The diffraction of light is considered for a plane screen with an open bounded aperture. The corresponding solution behind the screen is given explicitly in terms of the Fourier transforms of the tangential components of the electric boundary field in the aperture. All components of the electric as well as the magnetic field vector are considered. We introduce solutions with global finite energy behind the screen and describe them in terms of two boundary potential functions. This new approach leads to a decoupling of the vectorial boundary equations in the aperture in the case of global finite energy. For the physically admissible solutions, that is, the solutions with local finite energy, we derive a characterisation in terms of the electric boundary fields.
