Abstract
A comprehensive study of the properties of "source-free" wave fields (i.e., diffracted wave fields expressible by plane-wave expansions containing only homogeneous waves) is summarized. The theorems proved in the study are stated. A new series mode expansion for "source-free" wave fields in included.Keywords
