Brm. Rao et al., COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF COHERENT EDGE RESPONSES OF APODISED OPTICAL-SYSTEMS, Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics, 31(11), 1993, pp. 834-837
The pronounced effects of edge-ringing associated with coherent images
of straight edges can be considerably reduced by using various amplit
ude apodisation filters in the Fourier plane. This note presents a com
parative study of the performance of optical systems apodised with var
ious amplitude filters. A relative assessment has been made on the bas
is of edge-ringing, edge-shifting, edge-gradient and edge-spread.
