Fresnel diffraction occurs when a wavefront encounters an obstacle or aperture, and the wavefront is at a finite distance from the aperture, resulting in a complex interference pattern. It is characterized by the near-field regime where the wavefront curvature is significant, differing from Fraunhofer diffraction, which assumes parallel wavefronts at a large distance.
