Fourier optics
An arbitrary wave in free space may be analyzed as a superposition of plane waves.
If it is known how a linear optical system modifies plane waves, the principle of superposition can be used to determine the effect of the system on any arbitrary wave.
The complex amplitudes in two planes normal to the optical (z) axis are regarded as the input and output of the system. A linear system may be characterized by:
- its impulse response function - the response of the system to an impulse (a point) at the
input.
- its transfer function - the response to spatial harmonic functions.

Spatial harmonics
* Our definitions of temporal and spatial Fourier transforms differ in the sign of the exponent. The choice of this signs is arbitrary, as long as opposite signs are used in the Fourier and inverse Fourier transforms. With different signs in the spatial (2D) and temporal (1D) cases, the traveling wave exp[i(2t-kzz)] represents wave that moves in +z direction as time propagates.

The angles of inclination of the wavevector are then directly proportional to the spatial frequencies of the corresponding harmonic function. Apparently, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the plane wave U(x,y,z) and the harmonic function f(x,y).
Given one, the other can be readily determined, provided the wavelength is known:
- The harmonic function f(x,y) is obtained by sampling at the z0 plane, f(x,y) = U(x,y,z0).
- Given the harmonic function f(x,y), on the other hand, the wave U(x,y,z) is constructed by using the relation:

A condition for the validity of this correspondence is that kz is real ( ). This condition implies that x < 1 and y < 1, so that the angles x and y exist.

Spatial-spectral analysis
If the transmittance of the optical element f(x,y) is the sum of several harmonic functions of different spatial frequencies, the transmitted optical wave is also the sum of an equal number of plane waves dispersed into different directions. The amplitude of each wave is proportional to the amplitude of the corresponding harmonic component of f(x,y).
With a single spatial frequency:
Mathematically, if f(x,y) is a superposition integral of harmonic functions,
with frequencies x and y, and amplitudes F(x,y), the transmitted wave U(x,y,z) is the superposition of plane waves,

Spatial-spectral analysis
For any z:
A thin optical element of complex amplitude transmittance f(x,y) decomposes an incident plane wave into many plane waves. Each wave travels at angles x = sin-1(x) and y = sin-1(y) and has a complex envelope F(x,y).
Spatial-spectral analysis
This process of "spatial spectral analysis" is analogous to the angular dispersion of different temporal-frequency components (wavelengths) by a prism. Free-space propagation serves as "spatial prism“, sensitive to the spatial rather than temporal frequencies of the waves.
The transfer functioninput plane output plane
, , ,g x y U x y d , , ,0f x y U x y
We regard f(x,y) and g(x,y) as the input and output of a linear system. The system is linear since the Helmholtz equation, which U(x,y,z) must satisfy, is linear.
Shift-invariant system: Invariance of free space to displacement of the coordinate system.
A linear shift-invariant system is characterized by its impulse response function h(x,y) or by its transfer function H(x,y).

2. the product H(x,y) F(x,y) gives the complex envelopes of the plane wave components in the output plane.
3. the complex amplitude in the output plane is the sum of the contributions of these plane waves:

Free space propagation as a convolution (Fresnel)
Knowing h, we can regard f(x,y) as a superposition of different points (delta functions), each producing a paraboloidal wave.
The wave originating at the point (x’,y’) has an amplitude f(x’,y’) and is centered about (x’,y’) so that it generates a wave with amplitude f(x’,y’)h(x-x’,y-y’) at the point (x,y) in the output plane. The sum of these contributions is the two-dimensional convolution:

Within the Fresnel approximation, there are two approaches for determining the complex amplitude g(x,y) in the output plane, given the complex amplitude f(x,y) in the input plane:
1. space-domain approach in which the input wave is expanded in terms of paraboloidal elementary waves.
2. frequency-domain approach in which the input wave is expanded as a sum of plane waves:

The approximation is valid if f(x,y) at the input plane is confined to a circle of radius b satisfying:

Fourier transform property of a lens:
The complex amplitude of light at a point (x,y) in the back focal plane of a lens of focal length f is proportional to the Fourier transform of the complex amplitude in the front focal plane evaluated at the frequencies x/λf, y/λf. This relation is valid in the Fresnel approximation. Without the lens, the Fourier transformation is obtained only in the Fraunhofer approximation, which is more restrictive.
