Null curves in diffraction patterns

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that there is a large class of plane curves which never appear in partial form, as curves along which destructive interference takes place. These curves have an analytic property which, when combined with an analytic property of the free light field, gives rise to patterns of interference that are commonly observed.
