Energy and momentum flux in a high-numerical-aperture beam using the extended Nijboer-Zernike diffraction formalism

We describe the energy and momentum flux in the case of an aberrated optical imaging system with a high numerical aperture (NA). The approach is based on the extended Nijboer-Zernike diffraction theory, that, in its high-NA version, yields an accurate analytic representation of the electromagnetic f...
