Apodization for maximum Strehl ratio and specified Rayleigh limit of resolution. II.

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Strehl ratio has an upper bound, in the class of real-valued pupil functions that have a specified Rayleigh limit β, that is strictly less than the least upper bound in the class of complex-valued pupil functions with the same Rayleigh limit, provided β lies between 139% and 223% of the classical Rayleigh limit j11. This upper bound is the maximum Strehl ratio when 1.39j11β ≤ 1.77j11, but not otherwise.
