46. The directivity, as we defined it, is analogous to the direc- tivity in antenna theory, defined as the ratio of Uθ, the radiation intensity in a certain direction, to Uave, the average radiation intensity: Dθ=Uθ/Uave (two-dimensional case).
47. The factor G is called the (power) gain in antenna theory [39]. We do not adopt this name since in the optics literature gain is commonly related to amplification, which is not the case here.
