Abstract

The response of a defocused aberration-free optical system to line-frequencies in the object is studied analytically. Curves are given showing the response as a function of line-frequency for a range of values of defect of focus. A comparison is made with the results to be expected from geometrical optics. A tolerance for defect of focus is obtained, which accords well with published experimental results. Both circular and rectangular apertures are considered.
