Imaging with a single lens: imaging condition arbitrary complex input transparency gt(x) pupil mask gpm(x ) spatially coherent gillum(x) z z2 input diffraction from the input diffracted after lens + pupil mask wave converging to form the image at the plane The at the plane of this imaging system is (derivation in the supplement to this lecture) We also need to eliminate this quadratic term To eliminate the quadratic term we satisfy the Lens Law of geometrical optics 5/4/9 wk3-a- 2 After eliminating the quadratic, the remaining integral is the Fourier transform of the pupil mask gpm(x, y ).
Eliminating the quadratic term gt(x) pupil mask gpm(x ) gillum(x) z z2 Solution : shape gt(x) as a sphere of radius z arbitrary complex input transparency gt(x) gillum(x) pupil mask gpm(x ) collector z z2 Solution 2: attach a lens of focal length z to gt(x) Solution 3: limit gt(x) to ¼ the lateral size of gpm(x ) [see Goodman 5.3.2 and Ref. 33] 5/4/9 wk3-a- 3
Imaging with a single lens: PSF and ATF arbitrary complex input transparency gt(x) pupil mask gpm(x ) spatially coherent gillum(x) z z2 input diffraction from the input diffracted after lens + pupil mask wave converging to form the image at the plane Assuming one of the three conditions is satisfied and the last remaining quadratic term can be eliminated, the is where is the PSF, i.e. the Fourier transform of the pupil mask scaled so that (x,y )=(λzu,λzv). As in the 4F system, the scaled complex transmissivity of the pupil mask is the ATF 5/4/9 wk3-a- 4
Imaging with a single lens: lateral magnification arbitrary complex input transparency gt(x) pupil mask gpm(x ) spatially coherent gillum(x) z z2 input diffraction from the input diffracted after lens + pupil mask wave converging to form the image at the plane If the pupil mask gpm(x, y ) is infinitely large and clear, its Fourier transform is approximated as a δ-function. Therefore, the optical at the plane is phase factor, does not affect the image intensity 5/4/9 wk3-a- 5 replica of the input within the factor of lateral magnification So by ignoring diffraction due to the finite lateral size and, possibly, phase-delay elements inside the clear aperture of the pupil mask gpm(x, y ), we have essentially found that the imaging condition and lateral magnification relationships from geometrical optics remain valid in wave optics as well for the intensity of the optical.
