Diffraction Course
This course builds expertise in diffraction principles for optical design. Explore Fresnel and Fraunhofer regimes, compute Airy and slit patterns, apply Fresnel numbers for accuracy, design apertures for sensor coverage, and validate using FFT simulations and simple experiments in real-world physics.
