Fraunhofer diffraction describes the diffraction patterns observed when light passes through a small aperture or around an obstacle, and it is analyzed at a far distance from the aperture or object. Under these conditions, the incoming wavefront can be approximated as planar waves. The mathematical formulation of the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern can be expressed in terms of the Fourier transform of the aperture function.
