The imaging characteristics of a birefringent lens sandwiched between two polarizers is
studied analytically. If the optic axis of the birefringent crystal is perpendicular to the lens …

The Strehl definition along the axis of a birefringent lens sandwiched between two polarizers
is studied analytically. The optic axis of the birefringent lens made of a uniaxial crystal is …

The imaging characteristics of a perfect lens partially masked by a linear polarizer can be
varied continuously either by rotating an analyzer placed at the output side or by changing …

We report a systematic investigation of the imaging behavior of an optical system consisting
of a lens from a uniaxial birefringent crystal sandwiched between two linear polarizers into …

We report a systematic investigation on the imaging behavior of an optical system consisting
of a lens made of a uniaxial birefringent crystal sandwiched between two linear polarizers …

This paper suggests the possibility of partial compensation of spherical aberration with a
polarization-masked lens aperture. The principle is based on the fact that any pre-specified …

The superresolution technique is well known for its ability to compress the central diffraction
spot to a size that is smaller than the Airy diffraction spot. The radial birefringent filter, which …

The optical transfer function (OTF) of an imaging system using polarization devices depends
in general on the state of polarization of the input beam. In fact, the 'amplitude point spread …

Imaging properties of a birefringent lens, in which the fast (or the slow) axis is distributed in
the radial direction whereas magnitude of birefringence varies as a quadratic function of the …

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 …
