A laser beam is shone onto a variable rectangular aperture. The size of the hole determines the type of diffraction produces on the screen. Very small apertures produce Fraunhofer diffraction, and ...

In ref. 4, it was shown that the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern from an isolated non-periodic object was sufficient to fully reconstruct the diffracting object. Methods, based on modifications 5 ...

Here we present measurements of irregular diffraction patterns for NO radicals colliding with rare-gas atoms that can be explained by the analytical Fraunhofer model.
