The autocorrelation of speckles in deep Fresnel diffraction region and characterizations of random self-affine fractal surfaces

This paper studies the correlation properties of the speckles in the deep Fresnel diffraction region produced by the scattering of rough self-affine fractal surfaces. The autocorrelation function of the speckle intensities is formulated by the combination of the light scattering theory of Kirchhoff approximation and the principles of speckle statistics. We propose a method for extracting the three surface parameters, i.e. the roughness w, the lateral correlation length ξ and the roughness exponent α, from the autocorrelation functions of speckles. This method is verified by simulating the speckle intensities and calculating the speckle autocorrelation function. We also find the phenomenon that for rough surfaces with α= 1, the structure of the speckles resembles that of the surface heights, which results from the effect of the peak and the valley parts of the surface, acting as micro-lenses converging and diverging the light waves.

Fresnel diffraction of truncated Gaussian beam

We study the Fresnel diffraction of Gaussian beam truncated by one circular aperture, and give the general analytic expression of the Fresnel diffraction of truncated Gaussian beam denoted by Bessel functions. Then the characteristic of the axial diffraction fluctuation and the influence of the caliber of the circular aperture and the wave waist of Gaussian beam on the diffraction distributions are discussed, respectively. Through the numerical calculations, the characteristics of the transverse diffraction are presented and the relationship of the fluctuation of the transverse diffraction profile and the position of the axial point is shown. The physical origin of the fluctuation of Fresnel diffraction intensities of truncated Gaussian beam is expressed in terms of Fresnel half-zone theory. These phenomena and the conclusions are important for the measurement of the parameters of the beam and its applications.     

Angular criterion to distinguish between Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction

The distinction between Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction is an essential condition for the accurate analysis of diffracting structures. In this paper we propose a criterion based on the angle subtended by the first minimum of the diffraction pattern from the centre of the diffracting aperture. The determination of the minimum of the diffraction pattern is the crucial point to assure the accuracy of the criterion. Therefore, the applicability of adequate thresholds for detection is discussed. The criterion is also generalized by expressing it in terms of the number of Fresnel zones delimited by the aperture. Simulations are reported to illustrate the feasibility of the criterion.     

An indirect algorithm of Fresnel diffraction

An indirect algorithm for Fresnel diffraction calculation at any distance is presented in this paper. Using this indirect algorithm, the Fresnel diffraction on a near plane can be realized in two steps, the first is to acquire the diffractive field on a far field and the second is to obtain the diffractive field on a near plane using an inverse Fresnel integral. Compared with conventional algorithms, this algorithm is valid at any range of distance. The sampling theorem, as the basis of this indirect algorithm, is discussed in detail. Theoretical calculations show good agreements with experimental results.

Computer simulation of Fresnel diffraction from rectangular apertures and obstacles using the Fresnel integrals approach

In this paper, we describe a new computer simulation technique of generating Fresnel diffraction images from rectangular apertures of arbitrary dimensions by using Fresnel integrals instead of the more common fast Fourier transform methods. The simulation can be performed in almost any PC using the software MATLAB. Diffraction images can be generated for any wavelength of light and for any aperture–screen and aperture-source distances. Images for rectangular obstacles can also be simulated. Details of the algorithm and program are presented, as well as the interesting insights than can be gained from using the program. Finally, it is shown that the simulated images reduce to the simple Fraunhofer diffraction patterns for certain limiting situations.     

Free-space Fresnel diffraction for the approximation of fractional Fourier transform

Fractional Fourier transformation of an object can be approximated by the object's free-space Fresnel diffraction pattern under some restricted conditions and plane wave illumination according to Hua's method. A better approximation is achieved under least-squared conditions developed in this paper. Simulation results verify that our theoretical development works for any fractional order a compared with the previous approach.     

关于菲涅耳衍射图样相似性的分析与讨论

Quantum-mathematical model of edge and peak point in Fresnel diffraction through a slit

The intensity distribution in Fresnel diffraction through a slit includes numerous small fluctuations referred to as ripples. These ripples make the modelling of the intensity distribution complicated. In this study, we examine the characteristics of the Fresnel diffraction intensity distribution to deduce the rule for the peak position and then propose two types of quantum-mathematical models to obtain the distance between the edge and the peak point. The analysis and simulation indicate that the error in the models is below 0.50 μm. The models can also be used to detect the edges of a diffraction object, and we conduct several experiments to measure the slit width. The experimental results reveal that the repetition accuracy of the method can reach 0.23 μm.
