t is a known fact that near field diffraction or Fresnel diffraction calculations are difficult to perform exactly. It is in general necessary to make some approximations in order to obtain a more suitable form. In this work, a numerical…

We report an experimental observation of quantum Airy disk diffraction pattern using an entangled two-photon source. In contrast to the previous quantum lithography experiments where the subwavelength diffraction patterns were observed in…

The Fraunhofer diffraction of quantum particles from materials with sharp electron-density edges or symmetric bond structures is ubiquitous. In contrast, diffraction from atoms with characteristic asymptotically-diffused electron…

To reach the full potential of the new generation of ground based telescopes, an extremely fine adjustment of the phase is required. Wavefront control and correction before detection has therefore become one of the cornerstones of…

Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of Mathieu's equation are found in the short wavelength limit using a uniform approximation (method of comparison with a `known' equation having the same classical turning point structure) applied in Fourier…

Uncertainty in physical parameters can make the solution of forward or inverse light scattering problems in astrophysical, biological, and atmospheric sensing applications, cost prohibitive for real-time applications. For example, given a…

An integrated photonic circuit architecture to perform a modified-convolution operation based on the Discrete Fractional Fourier Transform (DFrFT) is introduced. This is accomplished by utilizing two nonuniformly-coupled waveguide lattices…

The resonant mode approximation of the scattering matrix is considered for calculating the optical properties of multilayered periodic structures within the formalism of the Fourier-modal method for two diffraction thresholds in close…

The fast Fourier transform, FFT, is a useful and prevalent algorithm in signal processing. It characterizes the spectral components of a signal, or is used in combination with other operations to perform more complex computations such as…

The realm of classical phase retrieval concerns itself with the arduous task of recovering a signal from its Fourier magnitude measurements, which are fraught with inherent ambiguities. A single-exposure intensity measurement is commonly…

Recent experimental work has demonstrated the potential to combine the merits of diffractive and on-chip photonic information processing devices in a single chip by making use of planar (or slab) waveguides. Researchers have adapted key…

A forward model is presented to an inverse scattering problem that arises in the application of reflective Fourier ptychographic microscopy. The model allows us to determine the 3D distributions of refractive index for weakly scattering…

Fourier transform (FT) spectroscopy is a versatile technique for studying the infrared (IR) optical response of solid-, liquid-, and gas-phase samples. In standard FT-IR spectrometers, a light beam passing through a Michelson interferometer…

Light diffraction at an aperture is a basic problem that has generated a tremendous amount of interest in optics. Some of the most significant diffraction results are the Fresnel-Kirchhoff and Rayleigh-Sommerfeld formulas. These theories…

We revisit the Fourier transform of a Hankel function, of considerable importance in the theory of knife edge diffraction. Our approach is based directly upon the underlying Bessel equation, which admits manipulation into an alternate…

Friedel's law states that the modulus of the Fourier transform of real functions is centrosymmetric, while the phase is antisymmetric. As a consequence of this, elastic scattering of plane wave photons or electrons within the first-order…

Fourier imaging is an indirect imaging method which records the diffraction pattern of the object scene coherently in the focal plane of the imaging system and reconstructs the image using computational resources. The spatial resolution,…

The Fourier transform of the indicator function of arbitrary polygons and polyhedra is computed for complex wavevectors. Using the divergence theorem and Stokes' theorem, closed expressions are obtained. Apparent singularities, all…

Analytic modeling of gravitational waves from inspiraling eccentric binaries poses an interesting mathematical challenge. When constructing analytic waveforms in the frequency domain, one has to contend with the fact that the phase of the…

We consider the Sommerfeld problem of diffraction by an opaque half-plane with a real wavenumber interpreting it as the limiting case, as time tends to infinity, of the corresponding time-dependent diffraction problem. We prove that the…
