Abstract

In a recent paper [A.B. Katrich, Opt. Commun. 255 (2005) 169], Katrich has claimed that in a 2D free space evanescent waves do not exist because they are not exact solutions of the free space wave equation. We show that his conclusions are not valid, and that evanescent can indeed exist in free space. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.
