Lens Focal length : Interpretation
• Can re-write phase-shift ϕ(x,y) as
where df is defined as • What is so special about df ?
! Optics perspective ‒ According to the famous Lensmaker’s equation, df is the focal length of the lens
! Signal processing perspective ‒ Typically a narrow PSF is preferable (ideal PSF is an impulse function) ‒ PSF dependent on system parameters such as lens-diameter, wavelength, detector position, etc. ‒ We can show that for a thin lens with sufficiently large diameter, the PSF has minimal width
when detector plane is at distance df from lens.
