What are Gaussian and Plane Waves?

In the realm of nanotechnology, understanding the behavior of waves at the nanoscale is crucial. Gaussian waves and plane waves are fundamental concepts in wave mechanics. A Gaussian wave is characterized by its bell-shaped amplitude profile, which localizes the wave both in space and time. On the other hand, a plane wave is a type of wave whose wavefronts (surfaces of constant phase) are infinite parallel planes.
