Abstract
In this paper we consider a three-dimensional diffraction problem in which multiple interfering spherical coaxial wavefronts such as those produced in a Fabry-Perot type of interferometer are diffracted by a circular aperture . Numerical calculations are made with the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formula in the Fresnel approximation. The beams are considered monochromati c and mutually coherent. The asymptotic solution of the problem is presente d. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
