Modified diffraction theory of Kirchhoff
Modified diffraction theory of Kirchhoff is a scholarly work, published in 2008 in ''Journal of the Optical Society of America''. The main subjects of the publication include mathematical analysis, line integral, diffraction, interpretation, Fresnel diffraction, Kirchhoff integral theorem, Electromagnetic metasurface, axiom, Uniform theory of diffraction, Kirchhoff's diffraction formula, physical optics, mathematics, optics, contour integration, Huygens–Fresnel principle, metamaterial, physics, integral equation, and surface. The diffraction theory of Kirchhoff is reinterpreted and a new form of a surface diffraction integral is developed by using the axioms of the modified theory of physical optics, which leads to the exact scattered fields by conducting bodies.
