Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thorough investigation into the structure of the electromagnetic field in the region of focus for aplanatic optical systems. It examines the case of a linearly polarized incident field, presenting expressions for the electric and magnetic vectors in the image space. The author discusses the general consequences of these formulas, including the symmetry properties of the field, the polarization of the image region, and the energy density distribution. Detailed diagrams and tabulated data illustrate the results for selected angular semi-apertures on the image side. The author also investigates the case of an unpolarized field. The solution is not restricted to systems of low aperture, and the computational results cover the whole range of angular semi-aperture on the image side, from 0 to 0.5. The limiting case of 0. is examined, and the field is shown to be completely characterized by a single, complex scalar function, identical to that of the classical scalar theory of Airy, Lommel, and Struve. This book provides a valuable resource for understanding the resolving power of image forming systems, and it helps to clarify the significance of the usual scalar diffraction theory employed in the analysis of images in low aperture systems.
