Class 15 - Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction patterns

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

The learning objectives of this class:

  • Revisit the scalar diffraction theory
  • Identify the conditions of the Fresnel Region
  • Determine if the Fresnel condition is met
  • Calculate the impulse response and transfer function in free-space propagation within the Fresnel Region
  • Calculate the diffraction patterns in the Fresnel Region
  • Identify the conditions of the Fraunhofer Region
  • Determine if the Fraunhofer condition is met
  • Calculate the diffraction patterns in the Fraunhofer Region

Class 15 - Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction patterns is shared under a CC BY-NC-SA license and was authored, remixed, and/or curated by LibreTexts.
