Three Zone Asymmetric Pupil Filter for Increasing Two-point Resolution of Optical Imaging Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study, influence of three zone asymmetric apodizer on the resolution of composite image of two object points with given intensity ratio ‘c’ has been investigated. The proposed pupil function and its transmittance is formulated and studied. Fourier analytical properties of three zone aperture systems are studied by applying the modified sparrow criterion. The results are discussed in terms of sparrow limits obtained as a function of the degree of coherence of the illumination, intensity ratio of two object points and apodization parameters. Additionally, a test for the resolvability of the point sources from various set of observations is presented. It is established that for certain cases of illumination, the presence of amplitude and phase apodizer leads to an improvement in the resolution of optical imaging systems. The dependence of these characteristics on apodization controlling parameters is studied and reported.

Simulation of coherent multiple imaging by means of pupil-plane filtering in optical microlithography
A resolution enhancement technique for optical microlithography based on coherent multiple imaging was investigated with use of Prolith/2 (a commercial lithographic simulation tool). It was shown that a Fabry–Perot etalon placed between the mask and the projection lens of an optical stepper could be interpreted as an appropriate transmission-phase pupil-plane filter. While previous calculations...
متن کاملPoint Spread Function of Asymmetrically Apodized Optical Systems with Complex Pupil Filters: The One-Dimensional Case with Slit Aperture
Aimed at high resolution, an asymmetric point spread function has been obtained with good and bad sides by introducing three level asymmetric pupil functions. The good side has decreased side lobes while the bad side has increased side lobes. The asymmetry has been found to increase with the width of the edge strips within the slit aperture. On the other hand, there does not appear dependence o...

متن کاملImaging with Fresnel zone pupil masks: extended depth of field.
Fresnel zone plates are used as pupil apertures to extend the depth of field of an incoherent imaging system. The defocused optical transfer function is evaluated approximately, and the results are confirmed by experiments and by subjective evaluations of the images of a test chart. With a pupil having four zones, for example, the resolution limit at four depths of field out of focus is improve...
