4.1 Background

• These approximations, which are commonly made in many fields that deal with wave propagation, will be referred to as Fresnel and Fraunhofer approximations.

• In accordance with our view of the wave propagation phenomenon as a “system”, we shall attempt to find approximations that are valid

for a wide class of “input” field distributions.

• 4.1.2 The Huygens-Fresnel principle in rectangular coordinates

• Before we introducing a series of approximations to the Huygens-Fresnel principle, it will be helping to first state the principle in more explicit from for the case of rectangular coordinates.

• As shown in Fig. 4.1, the diffracting aperture is assumed to lie in the plane, and is illuminated in the positive z direction.

• According to Eq. (3-41), the Huygens-Fresnel principle can be stated as

4.2 Fresnel Diffraction

• Recall, the mathematical formulation of the Huygens-Fresnel , the first Rayleigh- Sommerfeld sol.

• The Fresnel diffraction means the Fresnel approximation to diffraction between two parallel planes. We can obtain the approximated result.

• 4.2.1 Positive vs. Negative Phases

• Since we treat wave propagation as the behavior of a linear system as described in chap.3 of Goodman), it is important to descries the direction of wave propagation.

• As a example of description of wave propagation direction, if we move in space in such a way as to intercept portions of a wavefield (of wavefronts ) that were emitted earlier in time.

We basically malcr use of the argument that for the convolution integral of Eq.(4-14), if the major contribution to the integral comes from points (ξ,η) for which ξ≒x and η≒y, then the values of the HOTs of the expansion become sufficiently small.(That is, as (ξ,η) is close to (x , y)

can be governed by the convolution integral of the function with a second function (i.e., U(ξ,η)) that is smooth and slowly varying for the rang –2 < X < 2 and –2 < Y < 2. Obviously, outside this range, the convolution integral does not yield a significant addition.

Finally, it appears that the majority of the contribution to the convolution integral for the range -∞ < X < ∞ and -∞ < Y < ∞ or the aperture area Σ comes from that for a square in the (ξ,η) plane with width and centered on the point ξ= x,η= y (i.e., the range –2 < <2 and –2< <2 or

we may say that for the Fresnel approximation (for the aperture area Σ or the corresponding square area) to give accurate results, it is not necessary that the HOTs of the expansion be small, only that they do not change the value of the Fresnel diffraction integral significantly.

Dr. Gao-Wei Chang

For the scaled quadratic-phase exponential of Eqs.(4-14) and Eq.(4-16), the corresponding conclusion is that the majority of the contribution to the convolution integral comes from a square in the (ξ,η) plane, with width and centered on the point (ξ= x ,η= y)

z4

In effect,1. When this square lie entirely within the open portion of the

aperture, the field observed at distance z is, to a good approximation, what it would be if the aperture were not present. (This is corresponding to the “light” region)

2. When the square lies entirely behind the obstruction of the aperture, then the observation point lies in a region that is, to a good approximation, dark due to the shadow of the aperture.

 3. When the square bridges the open and obstructed parts of the

aperture, then the observed field is in the transition (or gray) region between light and dark.

  For the case of a one-dimensional rectangular slit, boundaries

among the regions mentioned above can be shown to be parabolas, as illustrated in the following figure.

• The two quadratic phase factors in Eq(4-17)are in fact simply paraxial representations of spherical phase surfaces, (since the Rayleigh Sommerfeld sol. can be applied only to the planar screens), and it is therefore reasonable that moving to the spheres has eliminated them.

• For the diffraction between two spherical caps, it is not really valid to use the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld result as the basis for the calculation (only for the diffraction between two parallel planes).

• However, the Kirchhoff analysis remains valid, and its predictions are the same as those of the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld approach provided paraxial conditions hold.

• Comparison of Eqs(4-15)and (4-16) with Eqs.(4-25)and (4-26) tell us that there is no transfer function for the Fraunhofer (or far-field) diffraction since Eqs(4-25) and (4-26) do not include impulse response.

• Nonetheless, since Fraunhofer diffraction is only a special case of Fresnel diffraction, the transfer function Eq(4-21) remains valid throughout both the Fresnel and the Fraunhofer regimes. That is, it is always possible to calculate diffracted field in the Fraunhofer region by retaining the full accuracy of the Fresnel approximation.

• 4.4.3 Thin Sinusoidal Amplitude Grating

• In practice, diffracting objects can be far more complex. In accord with our earlier definition (3-68),the amplitude transmittance of a screen is defined as the ratio of the complex field amplitude immediately behind the screen to the complex amplitude incident on the screen . Until now ,our examples have involved only transmittance functions of the form

• Spatial patterns of phase shift can be introduced by means of transparent plates of varying thickness, thus extending the realizable values of tA to all points within or on the unit circle in the complex plane.

• As an example of this more general type of diffracting screen, consider a thin sinusoidal amplitude grating defined by the amplitude transmittance function
