Sidelobe suppression of the point-spread function in annular-pupil optical systems
Applied Optics
|August 14, 2010
Abstract:
New optical configurations suppressing sidelobes of point-spread functions in annular-pupil transmission optical systems are proposed for both one- and two-dimensional suppressions. In both optics, a point source and a one-dimensionally apodized pupil are combined. For two-dimensional suppression, the source and the pupil are rotated synchronously and its point-spread function is synthesized with time accumulation. The optical transfer functions of the two optics are theoretically derived.

Focusing of Light in the Eye
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...
Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
