Σύνοψη	Fourier optics is a mathematical framework that analyzes optical systems and phenomena using Fourier transforms and frequency-domain methods. Grounded in Joseph Fourier's 1822 work on heat diffusion and Ernst Abbe's microscopy theory, this approach decomposes optical fields into plane waves or spatial frequencies, revealing how optical systems manipulate and filter these components to produce images and transmit information.	The Finite-Difference Time-Domain method is a computational technique for solving Maxwell's equations by discretizing space and time on a grid. Introduced by Kane Yee in 1966, FDTD is a foundational approach in computational electrodynamics and optical simulation, enabling direct modeling of electromagnetic wave propagation through complex media.
