CGH: Consolidate Expressions Regarding Parallel Apertures
One-dimensional Apertures
From our accompanying discussion of the Utility of FFT Techniques, we start with the most general expression for the amplitude at one point on an image screen, namely,
|
<math>~A(y_1)</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~\sum_j a_j e^{i(2\pi D_j/\lambda + \phi_j)} \, , </math> |
and, assuming that <math>~|Y_j/L| \ll 1</math> for all <math>~j</math>, deduce that,
|
<math>~A(y_1)</math> |
<math>~\approx</math> |
<math>~\sum_j a_j e^{i[ 2\pi L/\lambda + \phi_j]}\biggl[ \cos\biggl(\frac{2\pi y_1 Y_j}{\lambda L} \biggr) - i \sin\biggl(\frac{2\pi y_1 Y_j}{\lambda L} \biggr) \biggr] \, , </math> |
where,
|
<math>~L</math> |
<math>~\equiv</math> |
<math>~ Z \biggl[1 + \frac{y_1^2}{Z^2} \biggr]^{1 / 2} \, . </math> |
