DWBA Equation in thin film

Using the notation $T_{i}=T(\alpha _{i})$ for compactness, the DWBA equation inside a thin film can be written:

${\begin{aligned}I_{d}(q_{z})&=|T_{i}T_{f}F(+Q_{z1})+T_{i}R_{f}F(-Q_{z2})+R_{i}T_{f}F(+Q_{z2})+R_{i}R_{f}F(-Q_{z1})|^{2}\\\end{aligned}}$

Expansion (incorrect)

WARNING: This incorrectly ignores the complex components.

Terms

If one expands the $|...|^{2}$ of the DWBA, one obtains 16 terms:

${\begin{matrix}&(T_{i}T_{f})&(T_{i}R_{f})&(R_{i}T_{f})&(R_{i}R_{f})\\(T_{i}T_{f})&T_{i}^{2}T_{f}^{2}&T_{i}^{2}T_{f}R_{f}&T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}^{2}&T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}R_{f}\\(T_{i}R_{f})&T_{i}^{2}T_{f}R_{f}&T_{i}^{2}R_{f}^{2}&T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}R_{f}&T_{i}R_{i}R_{f}^{2}\\(R_{i}T_{f})&T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}^{2}&T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}R_{f}&R_{i}^{2}T_{f}^{2}&R_{i}^{2}T_{f}R_{f}\\(R_{i}R_{f})&T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}R_{f}&T_{i}R_{i}R_{f}^{2}&R_{i}^{2}T_{f}R_{f}&R_{i}^{2}R_{f}^{2}\\\end{matrix}}$

Equation

The equation can thus be expanded as:

${\begin{aligned}I_{d}(q_{z})&=|T_{i}T_{f}F(+Q_{z1})+T_{i}R_{f}F(-Q_{z2})+R_{i}T_{f}F(+Q_{z2})+R_{i}R_{f}F(-Q_{z1})|^{2}\\&{\begin{aligned}=\,\,&T_{i}^{2}T_{f}^{2}|F(+Q_{z1})|^{2}&&+T_{i}^{2}T_{f}R_{f}F(+Q_{z1})F(-Q_{z2})\\&&&+T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}^{2}F(+Q_{z1})F(+Q_{z2})+T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}R_{f}F(+Q_{z1})F(-Q_{z1})\\&+T_{i}^{2}R_{f}^{2}|F(-Q_{z2})|^{2}&&+T_{i}^{2}T_{f}R_{f}F(+Q_{z1})F(-Q_{z2})\\&&&+T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}R_{f}F(+Q_{z2})F(-Q_{z2})+T_{i}R_{i}R_{f}^{2}F(-Q_{z1})F(-Q_{z2})\\&+R_{i}^{2}T_{f}^{2}|F(+Q_{z2})|^{2}&&+T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}^{2}F(+Q_{z1})F(+Q_{z2})\\&&&+T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}R_{f}F(+Q_{z2})F(-Q_{z2})+R_{i}^{2}T_{f}R_{f}F(-Q_{z1})F(+Q_{z2})\\&+R_{i}^{2}R_{f}^{2}|F(-Q_{z1})|^{2}&&+T_{i}R_{i}T_{f}R_{f}F(+Q_{z1})F(-Q_{z1})\\&&&+T_{i}R_{i}R_{f}^{2}F(-Q_{z1})F(-Q_{z2})+R_{i}^{2}T_{f}R_{f}F(-Q_{z1})F(+Q_{z2})\\\end{aligned}}\\\end{aligned}}$

Simplification

We can rearrange to:

We can rewrite in a more compact form using the notation $T_{i}=T(\alpha _{i})$ and $F_{+1}=F(+Q_{z1})$:
