15. 1 could be determined from energy conservation. This is not so simple, however, since the integral of I(0, z) over the image segment along the z axis has no obvious physical meaning [cf. Ref. 4 and L. R. Staronski, J. Sochacki, Z. Jaroszewicz, and A. Kolodziejczyk, J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 9, 2091 (1992)]. Considerations of energy conservation must be based on the energy-flux vector.
