Area of Science:

  • Computational Imaging
  • Optical Engineering

Background:

  • Wavefront coding (WFC) is a computational imaging technique.
  • It uses a specialized pupil function to manage optical aberrations.
  • WFC has been applied to enhance imaging systems and reduce costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the alignment, imaging experiment, and image restoration of an off-axis three mirror anastigmatic (TMA) system utilizing WFC.
  • To experimentally verify the theoretical analysis of WFC in this specific optical configuration.

Main Methods:
