Diffraction Course
Master diffraction principles from basics to practical sensor design applications. Explore Fresnel and Fraunhofer regimes, Airy patterns, slit diffraction models, and FFT propagation techniques to accurately predict spot sizes, optimise apertures, and confirm optical setups through real-world physics validations and experiments.
from 4 to 360h flexible workload

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to analyse and design aperture setups confidently. Review wave optics fundamentals, grasp Fresnel and Fraunhofer regimes, calculate Fresnel numbers. Model slits and circular apertures, forecast central lobe widths on detectors, select optimal dimensions, and verify with simulations and simple experiments.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master diffraction regimes: swiftly choose Fresnel or Fraunhofer for any configuration.
- Calculate slit and Airy patterns: forecast minima, lobe widths, and detector footprints.
- Design apertures efficiently: dimension slits and apertures for precise sensor coverage at 0.5 m.
- Utilise Fresnel number: assess approximation accuracy and select analytic or numerical methods.
- Simulate and verify beams: perform FFT propagation and measure exact lobe characteristics.
