Two-point resolution in bright background under partially coherent light

Kimiaki Yamamoto
- 01 Dec 2020 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the unified theory of image intensity for two point-like objects for bright and dark backgrounds. And they showed that the two-point resolution in a bright background is noticeably different from that in a dark background.

The diffraction theory of optical aberrations: Part II: Diffraction pattern in the presence of small aberrations

TL;DR: In this paper, the diffraction theory for arbitrary aberrations of a symmetrical optical system is developed for the case that the amount of aberration is small and the aberration function, which measures the deviation of the actual wavefront from a sphere, is expanded in a series of the so-called circle polynomials, which were introduced by Zernike in a problem closely related to the one treated here.
