Abstract

Following Heading (4) a systematic search is made for useful refractive index profiles in spherically stratified isotropic media which are capable of yielding wave functions expressed in terms of the standard transcendental functions. Previously known profiles are shown to emerge as special cases of the analysis. Subject to the criteria adopted all possible profiles are derived.
