Abstract
With the proliferation of aspheric and unusual optical surfaces in many optical systems, manufacturers are finding that conventional optical metrology methods are no longer suitable when characterizing these systems. For example, monochromatic interferometric measurements of individual components are being replaced by methods which determine system performance by analyzing the actual image produced by the optical system. This presentation will cover MTF and how it is used to characterize optical assemblies and systems employing unusual optical components.
