چکیده

A quartic phase retardation function is described that reduces the variation of the intensity of the focal point of incoherent imaging systems suffering from primary third-order aberrations limited to coma and astigmatism. Corresponding modulation transfer functions are shown to remain practically invariant for moderate amounts of coma and astigmatism.

Higher-Order Aberrations in Myopic Eyes

PURPOSE To evaluate the correlation between refractive error and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) in patients with myopic astigmatism. METHODS HOAs were measured using the Zywave II aberrometer over a 6 mm pupil. Correlations between HOAs and myopia, astigmatism, and age were analyzed. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-six eyes of 63 subjects with mean age of 26.4±5.9 years were studied. Mean s...

Combining coma with astigmatism can improve retinal image over astigmatism alone

We demonstrate that certain combinations of non-rotationally symmetric aberrations (coma and astigmatism) can improve retinal image quality over the condition with the same amount of astigmatism alone. Simulations of the retinal image quality in terms of Strehl Ratio, and measurements of Visual Acuity under controlled aberrations with adaptive optics were performed, varying defocus, astigmatism...

Design of diffractive singlets for monochromatic imaging.

The Seidel aberrations of a rotationally-symmetric diffractive lens with an arbitrary phase profile are presented. It is shown that by a proper choice of phase function and aperture stop position, third-order coma and astigmatism can be eliminated for any chosen conjugate ratio. Since a diffractive lens has an inherent zero value for the Petzval sum, the image plane is flat in both tangential a...

Off-axis monochromatic aberrations estimated from double pass measurements in the human eye

Off-axis monochromatic aberrations in the human eye impose limits on peripheral vision. However, the magnitude of the aberrations off-axis, and in particular coma, has not been yet completely determined. We have developed a procedure to estimate third order aberrations in the periphery of the human eye. The technique is based on recording series of double pass retinal images with unequal entran...

Limits of imaging-system simplification using cubic mask wavefront coding.

Increasing the space-bandwidth product of an imaging system will lead to a complex and expensive optical system. Techniques exist to simplify imaging systems. We propose the use of a hybrid imaging system using pupil phase modulation. Based on the reconstructed image's mean-squared error, we compute how this error is affected under various third-order aberrations. We determine the best cubic ph...
