Simulation of effects of phase and amplitude coatings on the lens aperture with polarization masks

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is well known that circular symmetric phase and amplitude coatings on the lens aperture modify the imaging qualities of a lens. The present paper shows that the effects of such phase and amplitude coatings on the imaging properties of a lens can be achieved by using suitably oriented polarization masks on the lens aperture. The fact that the response of such a system can be continuously varied by changing the orientation of the polarizing devices included in the system lends it a versatility unobtainable by the use of conventional phase and amplitude coatings on the lens aperture.
