    Fresnel Diffraction.nb Optics 505 - James C. Wyant 1 13 Fresnel Diffraction In this section we will look at the Fresnel diffraction for both circular apertures and rectangular apertures. To help our physical understanding we will begin our discussion by describing Fresnel zones. 13.1 Fresnel Zones In the study of Fresnel diffraction it is convenient to divide the aperture into regions called Fresnel zones. Figure 1 shows a point source, S, illuminating an aperture a distance z1away. The observation point, P, is a distance to the right of the aperture. Let the line SP be normal to the plane containing the aperture. Then we can write S r1 Q ρ z1 r2 z2 P Fig. 1.

  • Fresnel Integral Computation Techniques
    FRESNEL INTEGRAL COMPUTATION TECHNIQUES ALEXANDRU IONUT, , JAMES C. HATELEY Abstract. This work is an extension of previous work by Alazah et al. [M. Alazah, S. N. Chandler-Wilde, and S. La Porte, Numerische Mathematik, 128(4):635{661, 2014]. We split the computation of the Fresnel Integrals into 3 cases: a truncated Taylor series, modified trapezoid rule and an asymptotic expansion for small, medium and large arguments respectively. These special functions can be computed accurately and efficiently up to an arbitrary preci- sion. Error estimates are provided and we give a systematic method in choosing the various parameters for a desired precision. We illustrate this method and verify numerically using double precision. 1. Introduction The Fresnel integrals and their simultaneous parametric plot, the clothoid, have numerous applications including; but not limited to, optics and electromagnetic theory [8, 15, 16, 17, 21], robotics [2,7, 12, 13, 14], civil engineering [4,9, 20] and biology [18]. There have been numerous works over the past 70 years computing and numerically approximating Fresnel integrals. Boersma established approximations using the Lanczos tau-method [3] and Cody computed rational Chebyshev approx- imations using the Remes algorithm [5]. Another approach includes a spreadsheet computation by Mielenz [10]; which is based on successive improvements of known relational approximations. Mielenz also gives an improvement of his work [11], where the accuracy is less then 1:e-9. More recently, Alazah, Chandler-Wilde and LaPorte propose a method to compute these integrals via a modified trapezoid rule [1]. Alazah et al. remark after some experimentation that a truncation of the Taylor series is more efficient and accurate than their new method for a small argument [1].

  • Oscillatority of Fresnel Integrals and Chirp-Like Functions

In this review article, we present results concerning fractal analysis of Fresnel and gen- eralized Fresnel integrals. The study is related to computation of box dimension and Minkowski content of spirals defined parametrically by Fresnel integrals, as well as computation of box di- mension of the graph of reflected component function which are chirp-like function. Also, we present some results about relationship between oscillatority of the graph of solution of differ- ential equation, and oscillatority of a trajectory of the corresponding system in the phase space. We are concentrated on a class of differential equations with chirp-like solutions, and also spiral behavior in the phase space. 1. Introduction As coauthors of Luka Korkut, we present here an overview of his scientific con- tribution in fractal analysis of Fresnel integrals and chirp-like functions. We cite the main results from joint articles of Korkut, Resman, Vlah, Zubrini´ˇ candZupanovi´ˇ c, [18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]. The articles are mostly based on qualitative theory of differen- tial equations. A standard technique of this theory is phase plane analysis. We study trajectories of the corresponding system of differential equations in the phase plane, instead of studying the graph of the solution of the equation directly. Our main interest is fractal analysis of behavior of the graph of oscillatory solution, and of a trajectory of the associated system.

It can produce gratings with nanometer phase accuracy over large area by scanning a photoresist-coated substrate under phase-locked image grating. For the successful implementation of the SBIL, it is crucial to measure the spatial period, phase, and distortion of the image grating accurately, since it enables the precise stitching of subsequent scans. This thesis describes the efforts to develop an image grating metrology that is capable of measuring a wide range of image periods, regardless of changes in grat- ing orientation. In order to satisfy the conditions, the use of a Fresnel zone plate is proposed.

E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 2017 December 17. Received 2017 November 15; in original form 2017 September 16 SUMMARY The reflecting zone in the subsurface insonified by the first quarter of a wavelength and the portion of the reflecting surface involved in these reflections is called the Fresnel zone or first Fresnel zone. The horizontal resolution is controlled by acquisition factors and the size of the Fresnel zone. We derive an analytic expression for the radius of the Fresnel zone in time domain in transversely isotropic medium with a vertical symmetry axis (VTI) using the perturbation method from the parametric offset-traveltime equation. The acoustic assumption is used for simplification. The Shanks transform is applied to stabilize the convergence of approximation and to improve the accuracy. The similar strategy is applied for the azimuth-dependent radius of the Fresnel zone in orthorhombic (ORT) model for a horizontal layer. Different with the VTI case, the Fresnel zone in ORT model has a quasi-elliptic shape. We show that the size of the Fresnel zone is proportional to the corresponding traveltime, depth and the frequency.

ANNEX 1 1 Introduction Several propagation effects must be considered in the design of line-of-sight radio-relay systems. These include: – diffraction fading due to obstruction of the path by terrain obstacles under adverse propagation conditions; – attenuation due to atmospheric gases; – fading due to atmospheric multipath or beam spreading (commonly referred to as defocusing) associated with abnormal refractive layers; – fading due to multipath arising from surface reflection; – attenuation due to precipitation or solid particles in the atmosphere; – variation of the angle-of-arrival at the receiver terminal and angle-of-launch at the transmitter terminal due to refraction; 2 Rec.
