Scalar Diffraction Theory

Scalar Diffraction Theory is a theoretical framework within physical optics that models the propagation and diffraction of light waves using scalar wave equations, thereby ignoring polarization effects to simplify the analysis of wavefront evolution under the assumption of slowly varying fields and weak anisotropy.
