If you want to see more of these videos, or would like to say thanks for this one, the best way you can do that is by becoming a patron - see the link above :). And a huge thank you to all my existing patrons - you make these videos possible.

In this video, I describe the process of Fraunhofer diffraction (also known as far-field diffraction) in terms of the Fourier Transform and Fourier Optics. I go over the assumptions that underlie Fraunhoffer diffraction (both the paraxial approximation and the small-aperture approximation), and give the mathematical form that it takes.

This is part of my graduate series on optoelectronics / photonics, and is based primarily on Coldren's book on Lasers as well as graduate-level coursework I have taken in the EECS department at UC Berkeley.

Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.
