Imperfection of optical system

Ideal point object → optical system → diffused patch of light

Reason? 1.Aberration

2.Diffraction limitation

3.Imperfection of the medium

( air disturbance, anisotropy of the medium)

Optical system

Resolution(Resolving power): The ability to distinguish the closely spaced lines or points

Transfer function:

Measure of performance of a system

Measure of transfer ability of a system

Let us predict theoretically, confirm or disprove experimentally

can be also to evaluate peripheral components, include: lens, photographic film, CCD, atmosphere, eyes etc.

Means of evaluation:

2-1 Contrast

1.Object targetMust take into account the

contrast

High contrast: a deep black object on a pure white background

Low contrast: a gray object in a fog

test chart

MICROCOPY TEST TARGET

Data: Conforms to NIST/NBS 1010A, & ANSI/ISO test chart #2; frequency shown in cycles per mm and changes by an average of 12.2% per step; image overall 38mm x 45mm

Notes: 

Read direct resolution; ideal for evaluation of Optical / Mechanical Systems where reduction and low resolution is of interest.

Data: Designed to MIL-STD-150A; frequency changes by 6 √2 progression; image overall 71mm x 58mm; also available in custom sizes and contrasts. Ideally suited for Imaging materials, Visual resolution or Optical systems.

USAF 1951 TEST TARGET

Data: Layout and features are the same as provided in the traditional USAF 1951 Test Target (T-20) meeting all requirements specified in MIL-STD-150A.  The following improvements have been made:

USAF 1951 TEST TARGET - w/ Improved Labeling

- The chart has direct frequency labeling in c/mm eliminating the need for cross reference documentation of frequencies.- Numeric labeling is enhanced, based on OCR-A extended font for maximum recognition.

Data:

All bars and spaces are the same as provided in the traditional USAF 1951 Test Target chart T-20, meeting all requirements as specified in MIL-STD-150A. The following are improvements:

USAF 1951 TEST TARGET - w/ Improved Labeling and Features

 - The chart has DIRECT frequency labeling in C/MM. - Numeric labeling is enhanced and based on OCR-A extended font. - Bars are laid out in two straight columns, for easier scanning. - Smaller elements have finder squares next to them to aid in determining their locations

Data: Alphanumeric configuration with frequency range 1-18 cycles/mm in 25 groups. Overall image area of 50 x 50mm is divided into 4 quadrants. Available in custom sizes and contrasts.

RIT ALPHANUMERIC CHART

Notes:

Especially useful in Optical / Visual evaluation or where cross consistency among users is important.

Data:

The NBS-1952 Resolution Test Chart is described in the NBS circular 533, 1953 in the section titled Method of Determining the Resolution Power of Photographic Lenses. The design features of this target reduce edge effects, minimize spurious resolution and permit single pass scanning.

NBS-1952 RESOLUTION TEST CHART

Notes:

The NBS method of using this chart to test lenses involves placing the chart at a distance from the lens equal to 26 times the focal length of the lens, resulting in a 25x reduction.  The reduction effective frequency is 12 to 80 cycles per mm.

Data:

Frequency range in c/mm (20:1). Other frequencies are available on request.

Notes:

Each bar and space is progressively smaller in a log manner. Peaked groups every 10 bars.  Ideally suited for

SAYCE TARGET

microdensitometric scanning.  Other reduction ranges, contrasts and materials are available.

Data: Wedge shaped segments with 45 equal bar and space widths over a 360 circumference (8 degrees per cycle or 4 degrees per spoke).  Image size is 50mm in diameter.

STAR SECTOR TARGET

Notes:

An ideal target for detecting Optical Astigmatism, Focus Errors and other aberrations.  Can easily be incorporated into complete target arrays.

Optical Transfer Function (OTF)The OTF is a complex function that measures the loss in contrast in the image of a sinusoidal target, as well as any phase shifts. The MTF is the amplitude (i.e. MTF = |OTF|) and the Phase Transfer Function (PTF) is the phase portion of the OTF.

2-2 Transfer Function

Both T(R) and (R) are the function of spatial frequency:

Ideal perfect lens:

T(R ) = 1, and (R) = 0

At all spatial frequency

Practical lens: at low spatial frequency: R<10mm-1

T(R ) → 1, and (R) → 0

at high spatial frequency: R>100mm-1

T(R )↓→ 0, and (R) ↑ → 1
