Homework Statement
I have to find the transmittance function T(x,y) of two narrow slits of length L and separated by a distance 2d.
Homework Equations

This is what I'm talking about. In my case the x-axis runs in between the slits from the top to bottom (or bottom to top), the slits have a length L and are a distance d from the x-axis.
<br /> \mathrm{rect}(\frac{t}{H}) = \begin{cases} 0 & \mbox{if } |t| > \frac{H}{2} \\ 1 & \mbox{if } |t| < \frac{H}{2}. \\ \end{cases} <br />
The Attempt at a Solution
<br /> T(x,y)=1 \mbox{ if } -\frac{L}{2} \leq x \leq \frac{L}{2} \mbox{ and } y=|d|<br />
<br /> \mbox{Otherwise } T=0<br />
I need to put this into a nicer form, one which will be useful for Fourier transforms. I can reproduce a single slit using step functions, but I'm not sure how to get the two slits at the same time.
