14、fer function (OTF) measurement 4 Optics and photonics Quality evaluation of optical systems Assessing the image quality degradation due to chromatic aberrations Introduction Aberrations due to the variation of the refractive index with wavelength (dispersion) are usually termed “chromatic aberration

15、s”. 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 the point spread function (PSF) and the rel

16、ated 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 transmission chain, even if the latter is not

17、 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 Bibliography) and are restricted to that reg

18、ion 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 region of the optical waveband is by far wid

19、er 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 waveband. Nevertheless, the fact of variation of

20、 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 of the spread function relative to that

21、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 dependent properties of such aberrations. The

22、 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 function will be called lateral chromatic

23、 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 wavelength or waveband with respect to a ref

24、erence plane and for a defined focusing (or image quality) criterion. DIN ISO 15795:2008-04 5 1 Scope This International Standard defines terms relating to chromatic aberrations and indicates the mathematical relationships between those terms. It also gives general guidance for the measurement of ch

25、romatic aberrations and is valid for optical imaging systems which are constructed to be of rotational symmetric imaging geometry. It is also valid for optoelectronic imaging systems. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, c

35、ple and mathematical relationships 4.1 General For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms and definitions given in ISO 9334 and ISO 9335 apply. 4.2 Wavelengths and spectral distributions For the determination of chromatic aberrations, several wavelengths or spectral distributions sha

36、ll be given for which the aberrations are to be determined. 4.2.1 Quasi-monochromatic measurement 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 me

37、an wavelength of that quasi-monochromatic radiation for which the chromatic aberrations are to be determined. DIN ISO 15795:2008-04 7 4.2.2 Measurement with finite spectral bandwidth The spectral bandwidth is specified by a spectral weighting function, W(). For the purpose of analytical calculations

38、, this shall be approximated by spectral area weighting with different discrete wavelengths. The 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

39、 and weighted spectral reference distribution In the case of quasi-monochromatic radiation (see 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 dist

40、ribution is the spectral weighting function, WR(), to which the determination of the chromatic 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 h

41、elp of a suitably defined focusing criterion, which can be applied by measurement and shall be accessible for analytical calculations. 4.5 Image heights and local image field coordinates The image heights are defined by means of the line spread function (LSF). Figure 1 shows an example of (measured)

42、 line spread functions. For the definition of line spread function, see 3.13 of ISO 9334:1995. This definition is also valid for weighted spectral distribution, W(). Figure 1 Examples for quasi-monochromatic line spread functions The image height, h, is the position within the line spread function w

43、here the area fractions of the line spread function are equal. DIN ISO 15795:2008-04 8 Thus: 1LSF( )d LSF( )d2h + =(1) where is an integration variable. 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,

44、 or h( WR) for the weighted spectral reference distribution, WR(). 4.6 Lateral chromatic 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

45、 numerical evaluation of the line spread function, as it is also necessary for the 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 latera

46、l chromatic aberration, T(), in the measurement plane is given by: T() = u() u(r) (2) where u(r) = 0. 4.7 Weighted lateral chromatic aberration The weighted lateral chromatic aberration, T(W), is defined as the radial variation in image height, u(W), for the weighted spectral distribution, W(), rela

47、tive to the image height, u(WR), for the weighted spectral reference distribution, WR(). For given magnification ratio and relative aperture, the weighted lateral chromatic aberration in the measurement plane is a function of image height. For finite image distance: T(W) = u(W) u(WR) (3) where u(WR)

48、 = 0. As in 4.6, this requires a numerical evaluation of the line spread function, here with weighted spectral distribution, W(). 4.8 Form and extent of the edge spread function (ESF) 4.8.1 General In addition to the lateral chromatic aberration as a displacement between the median values of the edg

49、e spread functions for the reference and measurement wavelength or spectral weighting, one shall judge the degradation in image quality with the help of the form of the line or edge spread function for the different wavelengths or spectral weightings. This will give information in the space domain alternatively to the optical transfer function in the spatial frequency domain. The edge spread function will be used, because, in general, its structure is relati
