  • Interference and Diffraction

  • Huygens-Fresnel Principle

    Adapted from: Eugene Hecht, Optics, Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA, 1998.

    What if we block some of the wavelets?

  • Eugene Hecht, Optics, Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA, 1998.

    Diffraction increases as aperture size

    If is large compared to the aperture, the waves will spread out at large angles into the region beyond the obstruction.

    Diffraction

  • Diffraction Pattern From a Single Slit

    Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis

  • Diffraction Pattern From a Single Slit

    = sin2W x

    Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis

    For Destructive Interference:

    x = /2

    W sin =

  • Diffraction Pattern From a Single Slit

    Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis

    For Destructive Interference:

    x = /2

    W sin = 2

    = sin4W x

  • Diffraction Pattern From a Single Slit

    Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis

    For Destructive Interference:

    W sin = m

    m = 1, 2, 3,

  • Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis

    W sin =

    sin / W

    More accurately:

    sin = 1.22 / W

    Diffraction Gratings Plane or convex plate ruled with closely spaced grooves (300-2400 grooves/mm).

  • Two parallel monochromatic rays strike adjacent grooves and are diffracted at the same angle ().

    Difference in optical pathlength is AC + AD.

    For constructive interference:

    m = (AC + AD)

    m = 0, 1, 2, 3,

    Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis

    Grating Equation

  • m = (AC + AD)

    AC = d sin

    AD = d sin

    Combine to give Grating Equation:

    d(sin + sin ) = m

    Ingle and Crouch, Spectrochemical Analysis

    Grating Equation

    Grating Equation only applies if: d > /2

  • Are you getting the concept? At what angle would you collect the 1st order diffracted light with = 500 nm if a broad spectrum beam is incident on a 600 groove/mm grating at i = 10? For = 225 nm? For = 750 nm?
