where
```math
\vec{\bar{k}} =\frac{1}{\omega}\begin{pmatrix} k_{x} \\ k_{y}\\0 \end{pmatrix} \ =\begin{pmatrix} \sin{\theta}\cos{\phi} \\ \sin{\theta}\sin{\phi}\\0 \end{pmatrix} \ \tag{11}
\vec{\bar{k}} =\frac{1}{\omega}\begin{pmatrix} k_{x} \\ k_{y}\\0 \end{pmatrix} \ = n \begin{pmatrix} \sin{\theta}\cos{\phi} \\ \sin{\theta}\sin{\phi}\\0 \end{pmatrix} \ \tag{11}
```
and so $\vec{\bar{k}}$ is the wave vector with its frequency dependence
removed. $\theta$ and $\phi$ are the propagating direction angles and c,
removed. $\theta$ and $\phi$ are the propagating direction angles, $n$ is the refractive index of the source medium and c,
the speed of light is taken to be 1. Therefore by defining $\vec{F}$,
the angle of the incident wave is fixed. Equation
(10) can be discretized as:
