Create a matrix representing the gradual-width Fermat spiral slit mask

2 views (last 30 days)
I would like to create a N*N matrix T = zeros(N) to represent the gradual-width Fermat spiral mask given by
where rho and theta are the radius and azimuth of the polar coordinates, respectively. The parameters in the above equation are
N = 1024; % space sampling points
pixSize = 14e-6; % pixel size, unit: m
x = linspace(-pixSize*N/2, pixSize*N/2, N);
y = x;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);
[THETA,RHO] = cart2pol(X,Y);
z0 = 1;
lambda = 0.633e-6;
l = 4;
rho0 = 1.4e-3;
A = 0.015e-3;
d0 = 0.02e-3;
I have a little difficulty in creating such matrix. Can someone help? Thanks a lot.
And I think it should be like this.

You want to do the opposite of this:
[THETA,RHO] = cart2pol(X,Y);
Instead, create the initial matrices in polar coordinates, then use the pol2cart function to create the Cartesian matrix, and plot it.
I will leave the creation of the ρ and θ matrices, and writing the code for to you.
