In engineering optics, several common phenomena can be effectively simulated. These include light diffraction and holographic effects. Light diffraction refers to the bending phenomenon that occurs when light encounters an obstacle or aperture, which can be computationally modeled using Fourier optics principles and Fraunhofer or Fresnel diffraction algorithms. Holographic effects involve methods for recording and reconstructing light fields, capturing and preserving multi-angle optical information through interference patterns. These simulations and experiments help engineers better understand optical behaviors and optimize the design and manufacturing of optical devices through numerical modeling techniques such as wave propagation algorithms and interference pattern calculations.
