Abstract
Attention is drawn to the changes in the Fraunhofer diffraction patterns encountered when the planar objects become titled with respect to the optical axis. The differences between the far-field images observed in the well-known untilted case and the one investigated are shown and discussed using examples of familiar objects, such as square or rectangular apertures and linear diffraction gratings.Keywords
