Abstract
Computer Simulation of Fresnel Diffraction from Triple Apertures by Iterative Fresnel Integrals MethodThe Iterative Fresnel Integrals Method (IFIM) has been applied for the simulation and generation of the complete near-field Fresnel diffraction images created by triple apertures for the first time. The simulation can be performed in any PC using an included MATLAB program. Necessary formalism has been derived and simulation algorithm has been developed for this application. An interesting combination of interference effects with Fresnel diffraction has been observed in the simulation images. Transition to the expected Fraunhofer diffraction pattern from Fresnel diffraction for triple apertures is also observed by the simulations. The program can serve as a useful tool to study the complex phenomenon of Fresnel diffraction from triple apertures.
