    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Imaging Systems
    • Laser Technology

    Background:

    • Synchronous laser line scan systems are widely used in various imaging applications.
    • These systems typically employ a narrow laser beam source and a small field-of-view receiver.
    • Understanding the resolution limits of these systems is crucial for performance optimization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To derive a theoretical performance bound for image resolution in synchronous laser line scan systems.
    • To establish the maximum achievable system resolution under ideal conditions.
    • To analyze the relationship between system resolution and the properties of the imaging medium.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical derivation of a performance bound.
    • Modeling of synchronous laser line scan systems with delta function-like source and receiver.
    • Analysis of the system's point spread function.

    Main Results:

    • A performance bound for feasible image resolution was derived.
    • The maximum system resolution is limited by the properties of the imaging medium.
    • The optimal system point spread function was determined to be the square of the one-way point spread function of the medium.

    Conclusions:

    • The derived bound provides a benchmark for evaluating synchronous laser line scan system performance.
    • The study highlights the fundamental limits on image resolution imposed by the imaging medium.
    • Future system designs can leverage these findings to approach the theoretical resolution limit.
