Ubiquity of Fourier Transformation in Optical Sciences (Part II)
Abstract
This paper contains a transcript of my presentation at the Wyant Tribute Symposium on August 2, 2021 at SPIE's Optics & Photonics conference in San Diego, California. The technical part of the paper has no overlap with a previous article of mine that was published in Applied Optics last year, bearing the same title as this one.1 The applications of Fourier transformation described in the present paper include the central limit theorem of probability and statistics, the Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem, and computing the electromagnetic field radiated by an oscillating magnetic dipole.
