With the vector plane-wave spectrum and stationary phase method, a rigorous vector
diffraction model of an aplanatic system when the polarized point source is at an arbitrary …

We report the frequency response characteristics of an optical system consisting of a lens
made of a uniaxial birefringent crystal sandwiched between two linear polarizers; the lens …

The theory of a superresolution experiment is developed. To achieve superresolution one
must know in advance some properties of the objects, eg, nonbirefringence, time …

In this paper an electrically controllable radial birefringent pupil filter is proposed. It consists
of two polarizers and an improved electrically controllable optical azimuth rotator which has …

The diffraction-based optical frequency response characteristic of a birefringent crystal lens
sandwiched between two linear polarizers has been studied analytically using the …

The nature of the image produced by an optical system depends upon the point spread
function (PSF) of the imaging system. It is thus necessary to modify the PSF of the system in …

The factor of encircled energy (FEE) in the diffraction pattern formed by an optical system
consisting of an aberration-free birefringent lens sandwiched between two linear polarizers …

The anomalies that crystalline plates introduce in the quality of an image have been known
for many years. With its ability to control the polarization of its output, the laser makes …
