Figure 9
Schematic representation of the diffraction intensity pattern of the Dirac comb of Fig. 8. The pattern is periodic with period 1 and consists of a dense set of Bragg peaks, where increasingly smaller peaks are located at rational numbers whose denominators are increasingly larger powers of 2. Note that only peaks corresponding to r = 0, 1, 2, 3 in equations (16) and (17) are visible here. |
