Fraunhofer diffraction integral of the far radiation field Note that the U as a function of x0 and y0 is approximately a Fourier transform of U as a function of x and y So far, we have presented primarily the mathematical derivations to obtain the results given in Eqs (1.13), (1.15) and (1.17) We have learned two things from these derivations: (1) the approximations employed in Fresnel and Fraunhofer...
