17. The wave number convention used here differs from that of Refs.. Both Refs. use e-i(kz-ωt) for forward propagation while e-i(ωt-kz) is the physics convention that is used in this work. The relevance here is that the expansion coefficients { Dn } used in this work are the complex conjugates of those in Ref..
