Jt. Gallo et al., COMPUTER MODELING OF THE EFFECTS OF APERTURES IN THE FOURIER-TRANSFORM PLANE OF FOURIER-TRANSFORM IMAGING-SYSTEMS, Applied optics, 33(14), 1994, pp. 2891-2899
Two computer models are presented that can be used to determine the im
age formed by a 4-f Fourier imaging system with an aperture in the Fou
rier-transform plane of the system. These models were designed to aid
in the selection of system parameters in a Fourier-transform hologram
recording system (namely, object size, feature ratio, focal length, an
d storage area) required to obtain a retransformed image of a given qu
ality. The results of the simulations are verified in the laboratory.
