Abstract
For the first time, to our knowledge, optical diffraction is shown
to be a wavelet transform with the electromagnetic wavelets. We
show that the optical wavelets proposed by Onural [Opt. Lett. 18
, 846 (1993)] are the Huygens wavelets under a
Fresnel approximation, and the electromagnetic wavelets proposed by
Kaiser [A Friendly Guide to Wavelets (Birkhauser,
Boston, Mass., 1994)] reduce to Hyugens wavelets in the case of a
monochromatic field.
