Nodal-line dynamics via exact polynomial solutions for coherent waves traversing aberrated imaging systems
David M. Paganin, Mario A. Beltran, Timothy C. Petersen
We obtain exact polynomial solutions for two-dimensional coherent complex scalar fields propagating through arbitrary aberrated shift-invariant linear imaging systems. These are us…
Propagation of fully-coherent and partially-coherent complex scalar fields in aberration space
David M. Paganin, Timothy C. Petersen, Mario A. Beltran
We consider the propagation of both fully coherent and partially coherent complex scalar fields, through linear shift-invariant imaging systems. The state of such imaging systems i…
Extraction of depth moments by exploiting the partial coherence of radiation
M. A. Beltran, T. C. Petersen, M. J. Kitchen +1
We retrieve depth information (moments) of an object using partially coherent fields and defocus induced holographic contrast. Our analysis leads to a form of tomography that does…
Aberrations in shift-invariant linear optical imaging systems using partially coherent fields
Mario A. Beltran, Marcus J. Kitchen, T. Petersen +1
Here the role and influence of aberrations in optical imaging systems employing partially coherent complex scalar fields is studied. Imaging systems require aberrations to yield co…
Bloch Sphere Catastrophes
Samuel A. Eastwood, David M. Paganin, Timothy C. Petersen +1
Caustics are optical phenomena which occur when a family of rays creates an envelope of divergent intensity. Here we show that caustic surfaces also appear when a real or complex f…
