Context. Narrow-band interference filters can be tuned toward shorter wavelengths by tilting them from the perpendicular to the optical axis. This can be used as a cheap alternative to real tunable filters, such as Fabry-P\'erot…

Fresnel zone plates are diffractive elements that are essential to form images in many scientific and technological areas, especially where refractive optics is not available. One of the main shortcomings of Fresnel zone plates, which limit…
As has been known, the Nyquist first condition promises no intersymbol interference (ISI) as derived in the frequency domain. However, the practical implementation using the FIR filter truncates the Fourier transform by its window and…
