چکیده
In several optical systems, a specific Point Spread Function (PSF) needs to be generated. This can be achieved by shaping the complex field at the pupil. The Extended Nijboer-Zernike (ENZ) theory relates complex Zernike modes on the pupil directly to functions in the focal region. In this paper, we introduce a method to engineer a PSF using the ENZ theory. In particular, we present an optimization algorithm to design an extended depth of focus with high lateral resolution, while keeping the transmission of light high (over 60%). We also have demonstrated three outcomes of the algorithm using a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM).

Taking the classical Ignatowsky/Richards and Wolf formulas as our starting point, we present expressions for the electric field components in the focal region in the case of a high-numerical-aperture optical system. The transmission function, the aberrations, and the spatially varying state of polarization of the wave exiting the optical system are represented in terms of a Zernike polynomial e...

The judgment of the imaging quality of an optical system can be carried out by examining its through-focus intensity distribution. It has been shown in a previous paper that a scalar-wave analysis of the imaging process according to the extended Nijboer-Zernike theory allows the retrieval of the complex pupil function of the imaging system, including aberrations as well as transmission variatio...

We present details of a novel imaging algorithm based on the extended Nijboer-Zernike (ENZ) theory of diffraction. We derive integral expressions relating the electric field distribution in the entrance pupil of an optical system to the electric field in its focal region. The evaluation of these integrals is made possible by means of a highly accurate and efficient series expansion similar to t...

We introduce a novel phase retrieval method for astronomical applications based on the Nijboer-Zernike (NZ) theory of diffraction. We present a generalized NZ phase retrieval process that is not limited to small and symmetric aberrations and can therefore be directly applied to astronomical imaging instruments. We describe a practical demonstration of this novel method that was recently perform...

Background and purpose: Nowadays High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as non-ionizing radiation is used for cancer treatment. Ultrasound beams when crossing the border of two environments are refracted causing decrease in the beam focusing within a tumor. Also, it may induce damage to normal tissues. In this study, we evaluated the focal depth shift induced by ultrasonic beam refraction. ...
