hello,

Please help me to implementate in matlab an achromatic 2D fourier transformation.

when the system use a broadband illumination.

What is an "achromatic 2D fourier transformation"? How does that
differ from a regular 2D FT on a 2D array? And MATLAB doesn't do
anything optically, just numerically. To do an optical FT, you'd need
an optical bench/table with lenses, transparencies, etc.

Hi thanks for your answers,

I want to implementate my architecture with matlab, to simulate the real properties of each element .
I know that the regular 2D FT can be realized with matlab by the function (fft2).
In this case, we used a monochromatic light (a single wavelength (lambda0), and the used lens is caracterised by a constant focal distance f).

but, when the system is illuminated by a temporally broadband light, there is an interval of [lambda_min ... lambda_max], So we must use an achromatic lens with a variable focal length....
I don't know
- haw can I write a broadband ligth in a spatial system.
-haw we can write an fft2 when the distance focal change with lamdba.

Well, what are your formulas? It's been over 20 years since I got my
Ph.D. in optics and I don't remember the formulas off the top of my
head.
