Abstract
Most of the known Fraunhofer diffraction patterns are centro-symmetrical. The cause of this symmetry is usually a real object transmittance, but complex objects with phase factors can also cause diffraction patterns with centro-symmetry. Actually, the set of real objects is only a small sub-set of the set of all those objects that produce diffraction patterns with centro-symmetry.Keywords
