Polarization

If polarization effects have influence on the performance of a system, the pure

geometrical aberration model is no longer sufficient

The main reasons for polarization effects in optical systems are

1. Coatings

2. stress induced birefringence

3. intrinsic birefringend in crystaline materials

4. mixing of field component in high-NA systems without x-y-decoupling

Polarization

The understanding of the intensity distribution of the point spread function and

image formation needs the consideration of the physical field E

In the most general case, in the exit pupil we have a field with 3 orthogonal components,

that can not interfere

In the coherent case, the intensity

in the image plane is the sum of

the 3 intensity contributions

In the case of small numerical

apertures, only 2 transverse field

components must be considered

To determine polarization effects

in the image, first the propagation

of the polarization through the

system must be calculated

System Model

The field must be decomposed in components

1. in the object

2. in the entrance pupil

3. at every surface in the system

4. in the exit pupil

The transfer is established by coordinate transforms and Jones matrices

Any change of the polarization state from the object to the image space can be considered

as an aberrtion of polarization

The changes of the field can be decomposed in components

The vectoirial Zernikes can be used to describe these changes

From a practical point of view, phase and amplitude changes should be distinguished

Therefore usually the detailed assessment is divided into

1. retardance

2. diattenuation

Physically this corresponds to the phase and the size of the complex eigenvalues of

the system Jones matrix

Polarization Point Spread Function

The understanding of the intensity distribution of the point spread function and

image formation needs the consideration of the physical field E

In the most general case, in the exit pupil we have a field with 3 orthogonal components,

that can not interfere

In the coherent case, the intensity

in the image plane is the sum of

the 3 intensity contributions

In the case of small numerical

apertures, only 2 transverse field

components must be considered

Polarization for High NA

Especially for high numerical aperture angles, ther z-component must be taken into

account as well

The polarization breaks the symmetry

The point spread function can have non-circular symmetry for rotational symmetric

systems

More general geometries and free shaped surfaces breaks symmetry of the systems

A pilot ray and an infinitesimal ray tube substitutes the optical axis and the paraxial rays

A vectorial aberration theory describes the performance

Easier to formulate: special cases:

1. circular symmetric shifted/tilted components

2. plane symmetric systems

The aberrations are field with certain corrected nodal points/lines

Applications: mirror systems, Lithography, HMD

Polarization aberrations: change of polarization in the system by coatings, materials, high-NA

geometry

Jones matrix algorithm feasible

For high NA: geometric effect, also z-component of field due to large angles

Decomposition into phase (retardance) and amplitude (diattenuation)

Conclusion

Page 43: Imaging and Aberration Theory - iap.uni-jena.deand+aberratio… · Imaging and Aberration Theory Lecture 14: Vectorial aberrations 2013-02-08 Herbert Gross Winter term 2012 . 2 Preliminary

Understanding optical systems is only possible with aberration theory

Correction of systems is efficient with detailed analysis of aberrations and

the methods to prevent or compensate them after a proper classification

Especially the decomposition of the total aberrations into the surface contributions helps

for analyzing and improving systems

Allows qualified performance assessment

But:

1. the classical aberration theory is restricted to the geometrical picture

2. the classical aberrations theory mostly assumes circular symmetry

3. complete general geometries are complicate to implement,

the single numbers becomes matrices and are hard to interprete

4. the digital image processing approaches of today reduce the necessity of perfectly

corrected analogue systems

4. the application to real human image perception is still complicated

Aberration theory is not easy to understand

Aberrations theory is necessary for the fundamental understanding of correction and setup

of optical systems

Many assumptions and approximations are necessary

Real world mostly is more complicated

A minimum amount of analytical calculation helps to understand relationships

Lengthy analytical formulas are not of relevance today, mostly calculations are numerically

The aberration theory is still a research topic
