Abstract

Slit diffraction of a light beam impinging at extremely large angles is elaborated within the framework of the Young-Rubinowicz model of diffraction phenomena, applying the concept of an edge diffraction wave. It is shown that diffraction pattern differs considerably both from a near-field pattern and a far-field one, which are formed with a normally incident probing beam. Imaging (holographic) properties of referenceless recording of such a pattern are revealed and demonstrated for the first time.
