The first sum on the right accounts for the contributions of those poles that lie on the real axis; note that it is associated with a factor j instead of 2 j, since these terms arose from integrals over semicircles rather than over full circles.

By the Fourier integral theorem ∂2 ∂z2 + k2 ψ( ˜ x, y,z,ω) − S˜(x, y,z,ω) = 0. (A.19) We have thus converted a partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation.

(A.20) The price we pay for such an easy solution is that we must now perform a twodimensional Fourier inversion to obtain ψ(x, y,z, t) from ψ˜ z (x, y, kz,ω). It turns out to be easiest to perform the spatial inverse transform first, so let us examine ψ( ˜ x, y,z,ω) = 1 2π ∞ −∞ ψ˜ z (x, y, kz,ω)e jkzz dkz.

To compute this integral we use complex plane techniques. The domain of integration extends along the real kz-axis in the complex kz-plane; because of the poles at kz = ±k, we must treat the integral as a principal value integral. Denoting I(kz) = −e jkzz 2π(kz − k)(kz + k) , we have ∞ −∞ I(kz) dkz = lim r I(kz) dkz = lim −k−δ − I(kz) dkz + lim k−δ −k+δ I(kz) dkz + lim k+δ I(kz) dkz where the limits take δ → 0 and → ∞. Our kz-plane contour takes detours around the poles using semicircles of radius δ, and is closed using a semicircle of radius (Figure A.4). Note that if z > 0, we must close the contour in the upper half-plane. By Cauchy’s integral theorem r I(kz) dkz + 1 I(kz) dkz + 2 I(kz) dkz + I(kz) dkz = 0. Thus ∞ −∞ I(kz) dkz = − lim δ→0 1 I(kz) dkz − lim δ→0 2 I(kz) dkz − lim →∞ I(kz) dkz.

Using Euler’s identity we can write lim →∞ I(kz) dkz = 1 2π lim →∞ π 0 −e−z sin θ e jz cos θ 2e2 jθ je jθ dθ. Thus, as long as z > 0 the integrand will decay exponentially as → ∞, and lim →∞ I(kz) dkz → 0. Similarly, I(kz) dkz → 0 when z < 0 if we close the semicircle in the lower half-plane. Thus, ∞ −∞ I(kz) dkz = − lim δ→0 1 I(kz) dkz − lim δ→0 2 I(kz) dkz. (A.22) The integrals around the poles can also be computed by writing kz in polar coordinates. Writing kz = −k + δe jθ we find lim δ→0 1 I(kz) dkz = 1 2π lim δ→0 0 π −e jz(−k+δe jθ )jδe jθ (−k + δe jθ − k)(−k + δe jθ + k) dθ = 1 2π π 0 e− jkz −2k j dθ = − j 4k e− jkz. Similarly, using kz = k + δe jθ , we obtain lim δ→0 2 I(kz) dkz = j 4k e jkz. Substituting these into (A.22) we have g˜(z,ω) = j 4k e− jkz − j 4k e jkz = 1 2k sin kz, (A.23) valid for z > 0. For z < 0, we close in the lower half-plane instead and get g˜(z,ω) = − 1 2k sin kz. (A.24) Substituting (A.23) and (A.24) into (A.21) we obtain ψ( ˜ x, y,z,ω) = z −∞ S˜(x, y,ζ,ω) sin k(z − ζ) 2k dζ − 1 2k ∞ z S˜(x, y,ζ,ω) sin k(z − ζ) 2k dζ where we have been careful to separate the two cases considered above. To make things a bit easier when we apply the boundary conditions, let us rewrite the above expression. Splitting the domain of integration we write ψ( ˜ x, y,z,ω) = 0 −∞ S˜(x, y,ζ,ω) sin k(z − ζ) 2k dζ + z 0 S˜(x, y,ζ,ω) sin k(z − ζ) k dζ − − ∞ 0 S˜(x, y,ζ,ω) sin k(z − ζ) 2k dζ.

However, since our boundary conditions (A.17) and (A.18) pertain to the time domain, we must temporally inverse transform before we can apply them.
