Chapter 11 Fourier optics April 15,17 Fourier transform 11.2 Fourier transforms 11.2.1 One-dimensional transforms Complex exponential representation: In time domain: Note: Other alternative definitions exist. Notations: Proof: Fourier transform Inverse Fourier transform The fancy “F” (script MT) is hard to type.
Example:Fourier transform of the Gaussian function 1) The Fourier transform of a Gaussian function is again a Gaussian function (self Fourier transform functions). 2) Standard deviations (where f (x) drops to e-1/2):

Displacement and phase shift: The Fourier transform of a function displaced in space is the transform of the undisplaced function multiplied by a linear phase factor. Proof:

We now consider the case of 1) incoherent light (intensity addible), and 2) MT = +1. The flux density arriving at the image point (Y, Z) from dydz is Point-spread function
z Z Ii(Y,Z) I0(y,z) y Y z Z I0(y,z) Ii(Y,Z) y Y Example: • The point-spread functionis the irradiance produced by the system with an input point source. In the diffraction-limited case with no aberration, the point-spread function is the Airy distribution function. • The image is the superposition of the point-spread function, weighted by the source radiant fluxes.
Space invariance: Shifting the object will only cause the shift of the image:

Nature line width:The frequency bandwidth caused by the finite lifetime of the excited states. Line broadening mechanisms: • Natural broadening: Governed by the uncertainty principle. Lorentzian profile. • Doppler broadening: The light emitted will be red or blue shifted depending on the velocity of the emitting atoms relative to the observer. Gaussian profile. • Pressure broadening: The collision with other atoms interrupts the emission process. Lorentzian profile. Autocorrelation: The autocorrelation of f (t) is Wiener-Khintchine theorem: Determining the spectrum by autocorrelation: Symbol: cff (t) = f (t)f (t). Prove: Let h(t) = f *(-t), then
Cross Correlation: The cross correlation of f (t) and h(t) is Symbol: cfh(t) = f(t)h(t). For real functions, Properties (please prove them): 1) f (t)h(t) = f *(-t)h(t). Can be treated as the definition of cross correlation. 2) If f is an even function, then f (t)h(t) = f (t)h(t). 3) Cross-correlation theorem: F{f(t)h(t)} = F{f (t)}* ·F{h(t)} Applications of cross correlation: Optical pattern recognition Optical character recognition Rotational fitting in laser spectroscopy
