Abstract
Symmetrical Laue diffraction in a perfect crystal with a plane entance surface is considered. The two dimensional curvature of the wave front of the incident beam is taken into account. Using the corresponding Green function, a general expression for the amplitude of diffracted wave in the crystal is presented. Based on this expression, the concept of a locally plane wave is analyzed taking into account two-dimensional curvature of the wave front. This concept is used for obtaining the rocking curves depending on the angles of deviation from the chosen exact Bragg direction in both the diffraction plane and in perpendicular direction. The obtained result is compared with the result of the standard dynamical diffraction theory.
