How to integrate Fresnel Integrals? $int_0^y e^frac{-jbeta(z)^2}rho dz$












0












$begingroup$


I am having trouble solving this integration of a spherical fresnel zone with radius y



$displaystyleint_0^y e^frac{-jbeta(z)^2}rho dz$
, where j is complex and $beta$ and $rho$ are constants.



I have seen other questions such as



$int e^{ix^2}dx$
Complex Integration



but I do not understand how the bounds in that example were obtained when converted to polar coordinates. I have also seen other references that say to use euler's relationship but that leads to a very complicated result using the maclaurin series,



I know I have to use u-substitution to get



$int_0^y e^{-ju^2}du$



But don't know how to continue. Any help is appreciated!

    There is at least a problem with calculation of the last integral: $j$ disapeared

$$int_0^yint_0^{2pi} e^{-jr^2}rdrdtheta$$



Is only equal to $I^2$ in the limit $y to infty$



Notice that the region of integration was a square and has now become a circle.



I'm fairly certain that $ int_0 ^y e^{-ax^2} dx$ cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions, its solution is sometimes referred to as the error function.
