Non-paraxial beam propagation methods (2001)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Mcdonald, G., & New, G. (2001). Non-paraxial beam propagation methods. Optics Communications, 192(1-2), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0030-4018%2801%2901171-3

Exact analytical results are employed in the testing of split-step and finite difference approaches to the numerical solution of the non-paraxial non-linear Schrodinger equation. It is shown that conventional split-step schemes can lead to spurious o... Read More about Non-paraxial beam propagation methods.

An explanation for the low innovation activity in construction is put forward. The central argument is that the current theory of construction is one root cause for low innovation activity. Instead, an explicit and more powerful theory of constructio... Read More about Is the current theory of construction a hindrance to innovation?.
