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.

These regions are called Fresnel zones or half-period zones. If z1and z2 are sufficiently large compared to the size of the aperture the higher order terms of the expan- sion can be neglected to yield the following result. l 1 2 1 1 n þþþþ = þþþþ rn J þþþþþþþ + þþþþþþþN 2 2 z1 z2 Fresnel Diffraction.nb Optics 505 - James C.

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]. -
Analytical Evaluation and Asymptotic Evaluation of Dawson's Integral And
Analytical evaluation and asymptotic evaluation of Dawson’s integral and related functions in mathematical physics V. Nijimbere School of Mathematics and Statistics, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Abstract Dawson’s integral and related functions in mathematical physics that in- clude the complex error function (Faddeeva’s integral), Fried-Conte (plasma dispersion) function, (Jackson) function, Fresnel function and Gordeyev’s in- tegral are analytically evaluated in terms of the confluent hypergeometric function. And hence, the asymptotic expansions of these functions on the complex plane C are derived using the asymptotic expansion of the confluent hypergeometric function. Keywords: Dawson’s integral, Complex error function, Plasma dispersion function, Fresnel functions, Gordeyev’s integral, Confluent hypergeometric function, asymptotic expansion 1. Introduction Let us consider the first-order initial value problem, D′ +2zD =1,D(0) = 0.

Oscillatority of Fresnel Integrals and Chirp-Like Functions
D ifferential E quations & A pplications Volume 5, Number 4 (2013), 527–547 doi:10.7153/dea-05-31 OSCILLATORITY OF FRESNEL INTEGRALS AND CHIRP–LIKE FUNCTIONS MAJA RESMAN,DOMAGOJ VLAH AND VESNA Zˇ UPANOVIC´ Dedicated to Luka Korkut, upon his retirement (Communicated by Yuki Naito) Abstract. 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. -

JURAJ POLIAK AUTOR PRÁCE SUPERVISOR prof. Ing. OTAKAR WILFERT, CSc. VEDOUCÍ PRÁCE BRNO 2014 ABSTRACT The thesis was set out to investigate on the wave and electromagnetic effects occurring during the restriction of an elliptical Gaussian beam by a circular aperture. First, from the Huygens-Fresnel principle, two models of the Fresnel diffraction were derived. These models provided means for defining contrast of the diffraction pattern that can beused to quantitatively assess the influence of the diffraction effects on the optical link perfor- mance. Second, by means of the electromagnetic optics theory, four expressions (two exact and two approximate) of the geometrical attenuation were derived. The study shows also the misalignment analysis for three cases – lateral displacement and angular misalignment of the transmitter and the receiver, respectively. The expression for the misalignment attenuation of the elliptical Gaussian beam in FSO links was also derived. All the aforementioned models were also experimentally proven in laboratory conditions in order to eliminate other influences. Finally, the thesis discussed and demonstrated the design of the all-optical transceiver. First, the design of the optical transmitter was shown followed by the development of the receiver optomechanical assembly. By means of the geometric and the matrix optics, relevant receiver parameters were calculated and alignment tolerances were estimated.

Fast and Accurate $ G^ 1$ Fitting of Clothoid Curves
Fast and accurate G1 fitting of clothoid curves ENRICO BERTOLAZZI and MARCO FREGO University of Trento, Italy A new effective solution to the problem of Hermite G1 interpolation with a clothoid curve is here proposed, that is a clothoid that interpolates two given points in a plane with assigned unit tangent vectors. The interpolation problem is a system of three nonlinear equations with multiple solutions which is difficult to solve also numerically. Here the solution of this system is reduced to the computation of the zeros of one single function in one variable. The location of the zero associated to the relevant solution is studied analytically: the interval containing the zero where the solution is proved to exists and to be unique is provided. A simple guess function allows to find that zero with very few iterations in all possible configurations. The computation of the clothoid curves and the solution algorithm call for the evaluation of Fresnel related integrals. Such integrals need asymptotic expansions near critical values to avoid loss of precision. This is necessary when, for example, the solution of the interpolation problem is close to a straight line or an arc of circle. A simple algorithm is presented for efficient computation of the asymptotic expansion. The reduction of the problem to a single nonlinear function in one variable and the use of asymptotic expansions make the present solution algorithm fast and robust. In particular a comparison with algorithms present in literature shows that the present algorithm requires less iterations. Moreover accuracy is maintained in all possible configurations while other algorithms have a loss of accuracy near the transition zones. -
