Light Distribution in the Image of an Incoherently Illuminated Edge

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The image of an incoherently illuminated edge is shown to have a simple structure with no diffraction fringes for any state of correction of the imaging system. The light distribution in the defocused image is calculated and numerical results are given. A comparison is made with the predictions of geometrical optics.
