Transfer function with quadratic detection: coherent illumination

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The visibility of the interference terms over the image irradiance of a complex amplitude object immersed in a uniform background is described by an interference transfer function (ITF). It is shown that the ITF is the linear transfer function for coherent optical systems with quadratic detection when the test object either has low contrast or is periodic.
