Fourier theoremA complex function f(t) may be decomposed as a superposition integral of harmonic function of all frequencies and complex amplitude

(inverse Fourier transform)

The component with frequency has a complex amplitude F(), given by

Consider a two-dimensional complex electric field at z=0 given by

where the ’s are the spatial frequencies in the x and y directions.

The spatial frequencies are the inverse of the periods.

Thus by decomposing a spatial distribution of electric field into spatial harmonics, each component can be treated separately.

Define a transfer function (multiplication factor) in free space for the spatial harmonics of spatial frequency x and y to travel from z=0 to z=d as
