Mathematical Theory of OTF

Abstract

As we have already indicated in discussing geometrical optics in the previous two chapters, rays from a point object in a perfect optical system form a homocentric pencil of rays that converge to a point image; and the wave fronts (which, by definition, are perpendicular to the rays) are spherical. However, if in this approach abberrations keep the rays from passing through a common point, the wave fronts cannot be spherical.
