Aperture Diffraction

Aperture Diffraction is a fundamental phenomenon in Fourier Optics wherein the spatial redistribution of optical wavefronts, resulting from the truncation of incident light by a finite aperture, is characterized by the interference and diffraction effects that emerge as the wave propagates beyond the aperture.
