Abstract

An analysis of the depth of field (DOF) of the wavefront coding imaging system with a cubic phase mask is presented. A necessary condition on the base of that MTF of wavefront coding system is defocus-independent is described. Then the extension ratio of the DOF relative to that of traditional optical system is calculated. And the conclusion is also verified by the simulation results.
