Abstract:
This paper presents a method for evaluating the image interaction of two object patterns of arbitrary shape in partially coherent imaging. The interaction is shown to be the interference of the eigenfunctions of the transmission cross coefficient at the image plane convolved with each of the object patterns. For two arbitrary patterns, the ith eigenfunction convolved with one object pattern interferes only with the ith eigenfunction convolved with the second object pattern. This method is useful for understanding how object feature shapes influence image interactions, and examples are simulated to evaluate the method. A method to determine constructive and destructive interference areas is also introduced.

Convolution Properties II
The width property indicates that if the durations of input signals are T1 and T2, then the width of the output response equals the sum of both durations, irrespective of the shapes of the two functions. For instance, convolving two rectangular pulses with durations of 2 seconds and 1 second results in a function with a width of 3 seconds.
The area property asserts that the area under the...
