Frequency response characteristics of a birefringent lens with off-axis aberrations

S Sanyal, Y Kawata, A Ghosh, S Mandal - Applied optics, 2004 - opg.optica.org
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 …

Polarization-based compensation of astigmatism

DR Chowdhury, K Bhattacharya, AK Chakraborty… - Applied …, 2004 - opg.optica.org
One approach to aberration compensation of an imaging system is to introduce a suitable
phase mask at the aperture plane of an imaging system. We utilize this principle for the …
