    The result is a Huygens’ wavelet construction, illustrated in Figure 2A and 2B for a two-dimensional plane wave and circular wave. The insightful point suggested by the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens is that all the wavelets of Figure 2A and 2B, including those not shown but originating between those…
