(From Jenkins and White, I think) Diffraction Limits The Sharpness Of Image With A Small Pinhole Aperture
The Diffraction Pattern Of A Disk Has A Formula Based on Bessel Functions That Can Be Calculated From First Principles Airy
Pupil Size Changes With Mean Luminance, Influencing Acuity (From Wyszecki and Stiles, 1982) Pupil diameter (mm) Log luminance (Trolands)
The Pointspread Function Is The Generalization of the Linespread
Astigmatism Measures The Orientation of the Pointspread Function
Chromatic aberration is a differences in optical focus that varies with wavelength (A) Stimulus (B) Stimulus -0.3 0.3 Position
Chromatic AberrationCan Be Summarized By The Optical Power At Various Wavelengths; Very Constant Across People
0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 Short wavelength linespread functions are much broader than middle wavelength 580nm Relative intensity 430nm Position (deg)
Chromatic aberration also can be summarized in terms of the MTF at each wavelength
Chromatic aberration can also be summarized by its effect on the linespread Function Wavelength (nm) Spatial position (deg)

Zernicke Polynomials (Not Harmonics) Are Used To Model Transmission Through The Lens The Zernike polynomials are a set of functions that are orthogonal over the unit circle. They are useful for describing the shape of an aberrated wavefront in the pupil of an optical system. Project idea: Implement a set of Matlab functions for these polynomials. Explain their use in optics characterization. Review the human literature pertaining to measurements of wavefront aberrations in the human eye.
