Light diffraction at an aperture is a basic problem that has generated a tremendous amount of interest in optics. Some of the most significant diffraction results are the Fresnel-Kirchhoff and Rayleigh-Sommerfeld formulas. These theories are based on solving the wave equation using Greens theorem and result in slightly different expressions depending on the particular boundary conditions employed. In this paper, we propose another approach for solving the diffraction by a thin screen, which includes apertures, gratings, transparencies etc. We show that, applying the first order Born approximation to 2D objects, we obtain a general diffraction formula, without angular approximations. We discuss several common approximations and place our results in the context of existing theories.
Light scattering is one of the most important elementary processes in near-field optics. We build up the Born series for scattering by dielectric bodies with step boundaries. The Green function for a 2-dimensional homogeneous dielectric cylinder is o
We demonstrate that beams originating from Fresnel diffraction patterns are self-accelerating in free space. In addition to accelerating and self-healing, they also exhibit parabolic deceleration property, which is in stark contrast to other accelera
The inverse scattering problem, whose goal is to reconstruct an unknown scattering object from its scattered wave, is essential in fundamental wave physics and its wide applications in imaging sciences. However, it remains challenging to invert multi
Exciting optical effects such as polarization control, imaging, and holography were demonstrated at the nanoscale using the complex and irregular structures of nanoparticles with the multipole Mie-resonances in the optical range. The optical response
Measurements of elastic electron scattering data within the past decade have highlighted two-photon exchange contributions as a necessary ingredient in theoretical calculations to precisely evaluate hydrogen elastic scattering cross sections. This co
