MSN 510 Notes 2. Fundamental Concepts in Image Formation and Processing Outline • • • • • • • • • • • Summary: Huygens-Fresnel Principle The Fourier Transform Diffraction from a single aperture Convolution Coherence of a lightwave: White light vs laser What is a Lens? Fourier Transforming property of a lens Optical Filtering The Eye Magnifying Glass A Simple Microscope Huygens-Fresnel Principle • Each Point acts as a point source • Complex wave amplitude is calculated by adding up all contributions from source points Radiation pattern • A polar plot of the intensity of from a source (measured far away from the source) The Fourier Transform • We write a 1D or 2D function as the sum of sinusoids. Convolution and fourier transforms Convolution • Formal Definition Diffraction from a single aperture • Slit Diffraction and FT Coherence • A measure of how sinusoidal the light is – Or the length over which it interferes with itself What is a lens? Ray transfer matrices Free Space Thin lens Interesting Example
