Fraunhofer Diffraction Patterns by Incorporating hBN

Abstract

Abstract This research paper explores the intriguing world of Fraunhofer diffraction manipulation using Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) as the diffracting material. Through a comprehensive theoretical investigation and MATLAB simulations, we analyze the diffraction patterns obtained for different incident light frequencies and phases. The diffraction patterns exhibit fascinating variations, showcasing hBN's tunable nature in controlling the spatial distribution of diffracted light. As the incident light frequency increases, the diffraction peaks shift to higher angles, reflecting hBN's dispersion characteristics. The energy intensity pattern also undergoes significant changes, with regions of higher intensity shifting as the frequency varies. The validated theoretical model and simulations emphasize hBN's potential as a versatile platform for diffractive optics and light manipulation, promising applications in advanced spectroscopy, optical communications, and nanophotonic devices. The insights gained from this study pave the way for harnessing hBN's optical properties in emerging quantum technologies and integrated photonics, driving innovations in the realm of optical control and light manipulation.
