Bessel annular apodizers: imaging characteristics

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Apodizers with relatively high transmittance over an annular region of the exit pupil can reduce the sensitivity to defocusing and to spherical aberration [ Opt. Lett. 11, 487 ( 1986)]. Here, we analyze the imaging properties (pupil functions, point spread functions, optical transfer functions, and Strehl ratios) of the Bessel type of annular apodizers. We also show some computer-simulated images, obtained with and without this kind of annular apodizer.
