The Method of Generalized Ray-Revisited

Extract

In Section 2, ROTATION OF COORDINATES, the Authors derived the emittance functions in the Weyl-Sommerfeld representation of the wave potentials for a horizontal instantaneous single force from those known for a vertical force from conditions of invariance of the phase and amplitude of plane waves under coordinate rotation, Eqs. (10) ∼ (13) and (18) ∼ (20). That transformation implies the validity of the commonly applied identity for the (force) vector components when rotating the vector in the opposite sense to the coordinate rotation. Further, in the three-dimensional case, the vertical force poses an axisymmetric problem which is compatible with the Fourier transformation applied to the coordinates in the horizontal plane.
