Originally published by Wiley in 1989, this timeless classic provides a well-illustrated treatment of the fundamental concepts of spatial frequency, spread function, wave aberration, and transfer function--and how these concepts are related in an optical system, how they are measured and calculated, and how they may be useful. Contents  - OTF Historical Background  - Concepts  - Notation and Coordinates  - Diffraction Integral and Wave-Front Aberration Function  - Mathematical Theory of OTF  - Optical Design and Image Criteria  - Merit Functions and Aberration Balancing  - Measurement  - Calculation of the OTF: Analytical Methods  - Calculation of the OTF: Numerical Methods  - Appendix A: Calculated Optical Transfer Functions  - Appendix B: Some Mathematics  - Appendix C: Diffraction Integral Fundamentals  - Appendix D: Updated Calculations  - Index
