Shifted band-extended angular spectrum method for off-axis diffraction calculation
Abstract:
The shifted band-extended angular spectrum method (Shift-BEASM) is proposed to calculate free-space diffraction between two parallel planes with an off-axis offset. Off-axis numerical propagation is useful for simulating non-paraxial and large-scale fields. The proposed Shift-BEASM allow us to calculate the off-axis diffraction in a wide propagation range by extending the effective bandwidth using the nonuniform fast Fourier transform. The calculation accuracy is higher than that of existing techniques, such as the shifted-Fresnel method and shifted band-limited angular spectrum method, not only in the near field but also in the far field. Numerical examples and accuracy as well as theoretical formulation are presented to confirm validity of the proposed method.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...
