Abstract:: In the Fraunhofer zone, an experimental study of the diffraction of a collimated beam of light with a wavelength of 0.63 microns after passage through computer-generated images of flat geometric bifractals, which are a combination of two geometric fractals of different dimensions, was performed. The studies used bifractals based on the classical Vicsek fractal and two less well-known fractals of L-systems. The selected images were transferred to a transparent film using a phototypesetter with a resolution of 1333 dots per centimeter (3386 dpi) and a point size of 7.5 microns. Diffraction patterns were visually observed on the screen and recorded using a digital camera and then transmitted to a computer for processing. The diffraction patterns observed in optical experiments were compared with "digital" diffractograms, that is, with Fourier images of bifractal images approximated by a grid function on a uniform square grid at different values of the parameter used in calculations that determines the ratio between the overall size of the smallest element of the prefractal and the grid period.
