从惠更斯原理到索末菲衍射公式

自1678年惠更斯提出惠更斯原理，菲涅耳、基尔霍夫、索末菲等都对这一原理作出了改进和完善，体现了科学研究中从定性、半定量再到定量的逐步精确化的发展历程。为了准确理解惠更斯一菲涅耳原理，也为了认识和掌握科学发展的客观规律，有必要对惠更斯原理的发展历程作比较深入的认识，文章对此作了尝试。

From Huygens' Principle to the Sommerfeld Diffraction Formula

Since 1678 Huygens proposed Huygens' Principle, Fresnel, Kirchhoff, Sommerfeld and so on had improved this
principle，which reflects the scientific research of the development process form the qualitative, semi-quantitative precision to the quantitative phase. In order to accurately understand the Huygens- Fresnel's principle, and also to grasp the objective laws of scientific development, it is necessary for further knowing the history of development of the Huygens' principle.
