title: Redundancy in Cantor diffractals.
abstract: Cantor diffractals are waves that have encountered a Cantor         grating. In this paper, we report an important property of Cantor diffractals,         namely that of redundancy. We observe that the Fraunhofer diffraction         pattern comprises of several bands, each containing complete information         about the fractal aperture. This redundancy allows for a faithful reconstruction         of the Cantor grating by an inverse Fourier transformation of an         arbitrary band.
