In this chapter, the calculation of physical optics (PO) part of the scattered field is shown, that is, the field generated by the uniform component of the induced surface scattering sources. This ...

Diffraction gratings are curious things. Score a series of equally spaced tiny lines in a surface, and it will cause reflected or transmitted light to bend and separate into its component wavelengths.

For a circular aperture, interference occurs between all rays from the whole area producing a series of concentric fringes. The exact solution in this case is difficult but turns out to be of the same ...

Abstract: The properties of imaging systems can be described by the point-spread function, which is determined by diffraction. A shorter wavelength results in a smaller diffraction pattern and ...
