Abstract
We study the focusing of two-dimensional (2D) electromagnetic waves th rough a plane interface. Starting from the exact solution for the tran smitted field due to an arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) incident wave , we derive solutions for focused 3D waves in the Kirchhoff approximat ion. Then we construct corresponding solutions for focused 2D electrom agnetic waves and study in detail the focusing properties of a TM fiel d numerically and analytically.
