Homogeneous and evanescent contributions in scalar near-field diffraction.
نویسنده
چکیده
The contributions of homogeneous and evanescent waves to two-dimensional near-field diffraction patterns of scalar optical fields are examined in detail. The total plane-integrated intensities of the two contributions are introduced as convenient measures of their relative importance. As an example, the diffraction of a plane wave by a slit is considered.

Vector Fourier optics of anisotropic materials
The Fourier optics technique is founded on the transfer function derived from the scalar wave equation and thus has traditionally been applied to monochromatic scalar fields propagating paraxially in isotropic lossless materials. We review scalar and vector diffraction theory to show that the scalar Fourier optics technique can be seamlessly extended to the case of time-dependent nonparaxial an...
متن کاملAperture realizations of exact solutions to homogeneous-wave equations
Received January 21, 1992; revised manuscript received July 13, 1992; accepted July 28, 1992 Several new classes of localized solutions to the homogeneous scalar wave and Maxwell's equations have been reported recently. Theoretical and experimental results have now clearly demonstrated that remarkably good approximations to these acoustic and electromagnetic localized-wave solutions can be achi...
متن کاملShort Note Wide angle near-field diffraction and Wigner distribution
Free-space propagation can be described as a shearing of the Wigner distribution function in the spatial coordinate; this shearing is linear in paraxial approximation but assumes a more complex shape for wide-angle propagation. Integration in the frequency domain allows the determination of near-field diffraction, leading to the well known Fresnel diffraction when small angles are considered an...

متن کاملProximity correction and resolution enhancement of plasmonic lens lithography far beyond the near field diffraction limit
Near-field optical imaging methods have been suffering from the issue of a near field diffraction limit, i.e. imaging resolution and fidelity depend strongly on the distance away from objects, which occurs due to the great decay effect of evanescent waves. Recently, plasmonic cavity lens with off-axis light illumination was proposed as a method for going beyond the near field diffraction limit ...
