4. Frequency Analysis of Optical Imaging Systems (Chapter 6)
Remember that film or sensors record intensity (
This chapter introduces the and Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) .
The 3rd edition places a significant emphasis on numerical methods.
Are you working on a or a particular problem number from Goodman's text that I can help clarify?
. If a problem mentions a "far-field" pattern, jump straight to the FT. 3. Computational Fourier Optics (Chapter 5)
is very large, the field is simply the Fourier transform of the input scaled by
