Sampling theorem for rotationally symmetric systems based on Dini expansion
Optics Letters
|August 28, 2009
Abstract:
A new formulation of the sampling theorem for circular apertures is proposed that uses a Dini series approach instead of a Fourier-Bessel one. The results obtained are especially convenient for the fast evaluation of pointspread functions: even the case of thin-ring aperture is not troublesome.

01:29Volumes of Solids of Revolution
Volumes of irregularly shaped objects can be systematically determined using the concept of solids of revolution. This approach begins with a region defined by a curve in a two-dimensional plane. When this region is rotated about a fixed line, known as the axis of revolution, it generates a three-dimensional object with rotational symmetry. Such objects frequently arise in mathematical modeling, physics, and engineering applications.When the region being rotated lies directly against the axis...
01:26Gauss's Law: Spherical Symmetry
A charge distribution has spherical symmetry if the density of charge depends only on the distance from a point in space and not on the direction. In other words, if the system is rotated, it doesn't look different. For instance, if a sphere of radius R is uniformly charged with charge density 蟻0, then the distribution has spherical symmetry. On the other hand, if a sphere of radius R is charged so that the top half of the sphere has a uniform charge density 蟻1 and the bottom half has a uniform...
01:20Gauss's Law: Cylindrical Symmetry
A charge distribution has cylindrical symmetry if the charge density depends only upon the distance from the axis of the cylinder and does not vary along the axis or with the direction about the axis. In other words, if a system varies if it is rotated around the axis or shifted along the axis, it does not have cylindrical symmetry. In real systems, we do not have infinite cylinders; however, if the cylindrical object is considerably longer than the radius from it that we are interested in,...
01:11Rotation of Asymmetric Top
By definition, a spherically symmetric body has the same moment of inertia about any axis passing through its center of mass. This situation changes if there is no spherical symmetry. Since most rigid bodies are not spherically symmetric, these require special treatment.
The relationship between the angular momentum of any rigid body and its angular velocity, both of which are vectors, involves the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity only for spherically symmetric...

01:15Sampling Theorem
In signal processing, the analysis of continuous-time signals, denoted as x(t), often involves sampling techniques to convert these signals into discrete-time signals. This process is essential for digital representation and manipulation. A critical component in sampling is the train of impulses, characterized by the sampling interval and the sampling frequency. The relationship between these parameters and the original signal's properties dictates the success of the sampling process.
01:27Triple Integrals in Spherical Coordinates
Triple integrals in spherical coordinates provide an efficient method for evaluating volumes over regions with central symmetry, such as spheres. Instead of describing points by rectangular coordinates, spherical coordinates use three variables: 饾湆, 饾渻, and 饾湋. Here, 饾湆 is the distance from the origin, 饾渻 is the angle in the xy-plane measured from the positive x-axis, and 饾湋 is the angle measured downward from the positive z-axis.To derive the volume of a sphere, the solid region can be divided...
