研究目的
To use approximations to the Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction integrals to develop expressions for calculating the diffraction properties of non-rotationally symmetric optical systems with general polarization fields, reducing two-dimensional integrals to one-dimensional ones.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates that the two-dimensional RSDI can be simplified to one-dimensional integrals using Taylor-based approximations, maintaining high accuracy for non-rotationally symmetric functions and general polarization states. This reduction significantly decreases computational time (e.g., from hours to seconds for certain cases) while providing results comparable to exact methods, making it a valuable tool for optical system design and analysis.
研究不足
The approximations are valid within specific limits, such as for circular apertures of certain sizes relative to wavelength (e.g., D < λ for some cases, z ≥ D for others). Accuracy may vary with defocus and numerical aperture; further studies are needed for precise applicability bounds, especially for plane waves with large apertures.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs Taylor's theorem-based approximations to the Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction integrals (RSDI) for non-paraxial regimes. The methodology involves deriving mathematical expressions that separate angular and radial parts of the integrals, allowing reduction from 2D to 1D integrals.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The aperture functions are represented in cylindrical coordinates as sums of basis functions (e.g., Zernike polynomials, Bessel–Gauss beams). Polarization fields are described using general forms with radial and angular separation.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific equipment or materials are listed; the work is theoretical and computational, focusing on mathematical derivations and numerical simulations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involves substituting aperture and polarization functions into the approximated RSDI equations, applying identities (e.g., Bessel function identities), and simplifying to obtain expressions with 1D integrals. Numerical evaluations are performed using integration methods (e.g., trapezoidal method) and compared with exact RSDI results.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Intensity and phase of diffracted fields are calculated. Comparisons are made between results from the new 1D integrals and exact 2D RSDI integrals to validate accuracy. Software like MATLAB is used for numerical computations.
