Abstract
Experimentally acquired images of the intensity distribution in the meridional plane (the plane containing the optical axis) for focused coherent light beams are presented. These images provide a means for studying the effects of aberrations in practical focusing systems. The experimental apparatus for obtaining the data is described, and three example intensity distributions are presented.
