On the diffraction of monsters : Weierstrass and Young, analysis and edge-waves

Christian, JM; McDonald, GS

Abstract

We report on recent research developments investigating the diffraction of fractal
(i.e., multi-scale) light waves from simple hard-edged apertures. A bandwidth-limited
Weierstrass function is used as a physical model for illumination, and a formalism for
calculating diffraction patterns based on Young‟s edge waves will be detailed.
