Image formation and optical transfer function in a course of Fourier Optics
نویسنده
چکیده
A discussion on the interest of the study of diffractional image formation theory in a course of Fourier Optics is carried out We develope a general description of the partially coherent illumination case. Images of extended objects like the line and periodical structures are given for different values of the coherence parameter. The apparent transfer function is introduced as a quality criterium. For the incoherent illumination this parameter is compared with the optical transfer function.

Wiener reconstruction of undersampled imagery.
We derive a Fourier-domain Wiener filter for the reconstruction of undersampled imagery. The filter differs from previous implementations in that it permits adjustment of the trade-offs between sharpness of the reconstruction, noise amplification, and aliasing artifact suppression. Additionally, a net transfer function that characterizes the combined effects of the imaging system and the recons...
متن کاملSimulation of an Airy Beam with Optical Vortex under Fractional Fourier Transforms
First, this study obtained the fields of an Airy beam (AiB) with optical vortex (OV) for a Fourier transform (FT) system and a fractional Fourier transform (fractional FT) system; thereafter, their intensity and phase patterns were simulated numerically. The splitting on each line of the phase pattern indicates the position of an OV. The results show that the OV position will change when the po...
متن کاملFocal shift, optical transfer function, and phase-space representations.
The focal shift for a lens of finite value of Fresnel number can be defined in terms of the second moment of the intensity distribution in transverse planes. The connection with the optical transfer function is described. The specification of the focused amplitude in terms of the fractional Fourier transform is discussed, and the connections among the fractional Fourier transform, the Wigner di...
متن کاملIncoherent spatial impulse response in variable-cross-section photoreceptors and frequency-domain analysis.
The spatial impulse response of a single variable-cross-section photoreceptor has been characterized assuming the incoming radiation to be an initial field propagating under confinement conditions inside the receptor. By application of Fourier analysis the total transfer function is determined. Both the outer and the inner segments are characterized as low-pass filters. The dependence of the tr...
متن کاملCalculation of vectorial three-dimensional transfer functions in large-angle focusing systems.
The optical transfer function (OTF) is used in describing imaging systems in the Fourier domain. So far the calculation of the OTF of a large-aperture imaging system has been difficult because the vectorial nature of light breaks the cylindrical symmetry of the pupil function. We derive a simple line integral solution for calculating the vectorial three-dimensional OTF. We further extend this a...
