An alternative approach: To calculate the diffraction pattern of a circular aperture, we can choose y as the variable of
integration. If R (w in the above figure) is the radius of the aperture, then the element of area is
taken to be a strip of width dy and length 2 R 2 − y 2 .
The amplitude distribution of the diffraction pattern is then given by
R
U = Ceikr0 ∫ e
iky sin (θ )
−R
2 R 2 − y 2 dy .
We introduce the quantities u and ρ defined by u = y / R and ρ = kR sin (θ ) . The integral then
becomes
+1 i ρ u
∫−1 e
1 − u 2 du .
This is a standard integral. Its value is π J1 ( ρ ) / ρ where J1 is the Bessel function of the first
kind, order one. The ratio J1 ( ρ ) / ρ → 12 as ρ → 0 . The irradiance/intensity distribution is
therefore given by

The diffraction pattern is circularly symmetric and consists of a bright central disk surrounded by
concentric circular bands of rapidly diminishing intensity. The bright central area is know as the
Airy disk. It extends to the first dark ring whose size is given by the first zero of the Bessel
function, namely, ρ = 3.832 . The angular radius of the first dark ring is thus given by

which is valid for small values of θ (in radians). Here D=2R is the diameter of the aperture.
