Abstract
We investigated the pupil functions of specific-shaped apertures generated by Lambertian illumination with a rectangular light pipe to derive the corresponding optical transfer functions (OTFs) in aberration-free and defocused optical systems. The semianalytical results indicate that the curves of the OTF of the optical system vary with the form of the shaped apertures that are generated by illumination with different geometric structures of light pipes and light sources. It was found that the OTF values of even-peak frequencies decrease when the Lambertian light source decreases. If there are a total of
