Abstract

When any of the dimensions or sizes of the components in an optical system is on the order of wavelength, then the methods discussed under geometrical optics do not give the proper solution to the problem. For this case, we must start from Maxwell’s equations, and derive the wave equation from which the proper solution to this problem can be obtained.
