An Algorithm for Fresnel Diffraction Computing Based on Fractional Fourier Transform
نویسنده
چکیده
The fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) is used for the solution of the diffraction integral in optics. A scanning approach is proposed for finding the optimal FrFT order. In this way, the process of diffraction computing is speeded up. The basic algorithm and the intermediate results at each stage are demonstrated.

Discrete fractional Fourier transform as a fast algorithm for evaluating the diffraction pattern of pulsed radiation.
A technique is proposed for computing the field radiated from a rectangular aperture. This technique, based on the discrete fractional Fourier transform, avoids the complexities of computing the diffraction pattern by the direct evaluation of the Fresnel integral. The advocated approach provides a fast and accurate computational tool, especially in the case of evaluating pulsed fields radiated ...
متن کاملFractional-Fourier-transform calculation through the fast-Fourier-transform algorithm.
A method for the calculation of the fractional Fourier transform (FRT) by means of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm is presented. The process involves mainly two FFT's in cascade; thus the process has the same complexity as this algorithm. The method is valid for fractional orders varying from -1 to 1. Scaling factors for the FRT and Fresnel diffraction when calculated through the FFT...
متن کاملFractional Fourier transform applied to spatial filtering in the Fresnel domain
The fractional Fourier transform can be optically defined through a phase-space coordinate rotation of the Wigner distribution function associated with the input signal. This operation can be achieved by performing three successive shearing processes, which are reduced to a free-space Fresnel diffraction originated by a scaled version of the input object illuminated with a spherical wave. This ...
متن کاملSimilarity theorems for fractional Fourier transforms and fractional Hankel
The significance of the similarity theorem for the fractional Fourier transform is discussed, and the properties of self-similar functions considered. The concept of the fractional Hankel transform is developed for use in the analysis of diffraction and imaging in symmetrical optical systems. The particular case of Fresnel diffraction from a circular aperture is discussed and the effects of the...
متن کاملFundamental structure of Fresnel diffraction: natural sampling grid and the fractional Fourier transform.
Fresnel integrals corresponding to different distances can be interpreted as scaled fractional Fourier transformations observed on spherical reference surfaces. We show that by judiciously choosing sample points on these curved reference surfaces, it is possible to represent the diffracted signals in a nonredundant manner. The change in sample spacing with distance reflects the structure of Fre...
