Fraunhofer Diffraction by Koch Fractals: The Dimensionality

Abstract

Abstract Some properties concerning the fractal dimension of generalized Koch fractals and their Fraunhofer diffraction patterns are investigated as a continuation of the previous paper by Uozumi et al. The methods are discussed for evaluating the fractal dimension of object fractals from the intensity distribution of their diffraction patterns. Experimental results are shown to demonstrate some properties in this context. The fractal dimension of fractal areas in the Fraunhofer diffraction patterns is also considered.
