An optical diffraction experiment for the advanced laboratory
1990
By treating scalar diffraction as a Fourier transform problem, it is possible to calculate the expected intensity patterns for arbitrary apertures using standard signal‐processing software on a personal computer. This article presents a series of experiments on optical diffraction and spatial filtering phenomena, and quantitatively compares the results with calculations. Both the experimental and calculational methods are suitable for an advanced undergraduate laboratory.
