Comparison of quasi-isotropic approximations of the coupling ray theory in 1-D model 'OTC'.

Petr Bulant & Ludek Klimes

Summary

Commonly used quasi-isotropic approximations of the coupling ray theory are discussed. The coupling ray theory and its quasi-isotropic approximations are then numerically compared with the exact analytical solution for the plane S wave, propagating along the axis of spirality in the 1-D anisotropic ``oblique twisted crystal'' model.
