ISO 15795:2002(E) vIntroduction Aberrations due to the variation of the refractive index with wavelength (dispersion)

13、 are usually termed “chromatic aberrations”. Originally, this wording was based on the fact that, in the presence of these aberrations, the image of objects such as points, lines and edges, exhibit coloured fringes in addition to the variation of luminance. From this point of view, the concept of th

14、e point spread function (PSF) and the related optical transfer function (OTF), see ISO 9334, is basically a luminous (or more general radiative) transfer of optical information. There is only one signal regarding wavelength which is the result of the spectral transmission and sensitivity of the tran

15、smission chain, even if the latter is not identical to the relative luminous sensitivity of the human eye. Nowadays, the terms “colour” and, more specifically, “chroma” in the domain of physical science are well defined by colorimetry according to CIE Publication Nr. 15.2 (see reference 1 in the Bib

16、liography) and are restricted to that region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is accessible to the normal (trichromatic) human observer. However, when concerned with aberrations due to the dispersive behaviour of electromagnetic waves, it is necessary to take into account that the spectral reg

17、ion of the optical waveband is by far wider than the limits of sensitivity of the human eye. This region may extend from the UV to the medium IR. In such applications, the human visual process is not involved or, if so, only by means of certain translations of the information into the visual waveban

18、d. Nevertheless, the fact of variation of the form and position of the point or line spread function with wavelength or with some spectrally weighted wavebands is still given. To characterize this dispersive behaviour, one has not to deal with colorimetry, but should describe the position and extent

19、 of the spread function relative to that of a certain reference wavelength or reference spectral weighting. In this sense, the present International Standard will not deal with colour sensations, but the term “chromatic aberrations” is used in a purely physical manner to describe the wavelength depe

20、ndent properties of such aberrations. The variation of the spread function with wavelength in a given image plane of an optical system may be characterized by a lateral translation and additionally by a variation in form and width. The lateral translation of a typical coordinate point of the spread

21、function will be called lateral chromatic aberration, whereas the form and extent can be characterized by two numbers derived from a weighting procedure over the spread function (edge width). The longitudinal chromatic aberration indicates the axial position of the best image plane for a certain wav

22、elength or waveband with respect to a reference plane and for a defined focusing (or image quality) criterion.

35、rement In this case, the spectral bandwidth of the measurement radiation is small compared to the distance between neighbouring measurement wavelengths. The measurement wavelength under consideration is the mean wavelength of that quasi-monochromatic radiation for which the chromatic aberrations are

36、 to be determined. ISO 15795:2002(E) 34.2.2 Measurement with finite spectral bandwidth The spectral bandwidth is specified by a spectral weighting function, W(). For the purpose of analytical calculations, this shall be approximated by spectral area weighting with different discrete wavelengths. The

37、 measurements of chromatic aberrations shall always be carried out in the same manner, regardless of whether they are determined for discrete wavelengths or for certain wavebands. 4.3 Reference wavelength and weighted spectral reference distribution In the case of quasi-monochromatic radiation (see

38、4.2.1), the reference wavelength, r , is the wavelength to which the determination of the chromatic aberrations is related. In the case of finite spectral bandwidth (see 4.2.2), the reference spectral distribution is the spectral weighting function, W R (), to which the determination of the chromati

39、c aberrations is related. 4.4 Measurement plane The measurement plane is a plane perpendicular to the optical axis in which the measurement is carried out. It may be defined by geometric means, or with the help of a suitably defined focusing criterion, which can be applied by measurement and shall b

Figure 1 shows an example of (measured) line spread functions. For the definition of line spread function, see 3.13 of ISO 9334:1995

41、. This definition is also valid for weighted spectral distribution, W().

Local image field coordinates, u, are introduced by choosing the origin u = 0 at the reference image height, h( r ), for the reference wavelength, r , or h( W R ) for the weighted spectral reference distribution, W R (). 4.6 Lateral chr

43、omatic aberration The lateral chromatic aberration, T(), is defined as the radial variation in image height for the wavelength, , relative to the image height for the reference wavelength, r . This definition requires a numerical evaluation of the line spread function, as it is also necessary for th

44、e determination of the optical transfer function. For given magnification ratio and relative aperture, the lateral chromatic aberration is a function of wavelength and image height. For finite image distance, the lateral chromatic aberration, T(), in the measurement plane is given by: T() = u() u( r

For finite image distance: T(W) = u(W) u(W R ) (3) where u(W R ) = 0. As in 4.6, this requires a numerical evaluation of the line spr

This will give information in the space domain alternatively to the optical transfer function in the spatial frequenc

ISO 15795:2002(E) 5For the definition of edge spread function, see 3.14 of ISO 9334:1995. This definition is also valid for weighted spectral distribution, W().
