Abstract
The exact calculation of the field at a point due to a single Fresnel zone is carried out by using the Maggi—Rubinowicz contour integral. The result agrees with the Fresnel theorem in the limit for k very large, k being the propagation constant of the incident wave. The results obtained suggest a new interpretation of the physical meaning of the Maggi—Rubinowicz contour integral in diffraction theory as representing a contribution of elementary or Fresnel zones, in exactly the same manner that the Kirchhoff integral does when considered as an expression of Huygens’ principle.
