| Sep 24, 2024 at 15:48 | comment | added | IntegerEuler | @flippiefanus Thanks for your suggestion! I should have mentioned that this expression for $n(z)$ is valid only for $z<0$ (and I am concerned only with negative $z$ values). Could you elaborate a bit on how one might derive an evolution equation? | |
| Sep 24, 2024 at 3:31 | comment | added | flippiefanus | If the refractive index only varies as a function of $z$ and the variation is slow enough you can derive an evolution equation for the propagation by considering short distances over which the propagation in essentially through a constant dielectric medium. Then you can find solutions for your equation. | |
| Sep 24, 2024 at 3:28 | comment | added | flippiefanus | The expression for the refractive index causes it to become negative at some finite distance. This is not physical. Perhaps you need to model it differently. | |
