Abstract:
A mathematical model is proposed for the spatial distribution of a radiation flux that occurs when a plane wave is diffracted at an edge. In this model, the spatial distribution of the radiation flux is described by rays with the radiation fluxes strung on them. A feature of the proposed model is that the radiation fluxes strung on the rays are added algebraically.

Keywords:
diffraction, geometrical optics, wigner transforms, ray tracing.
