Image degradation due to diffraction, reflection, and scattering in an optical system

The focal plane power distribution due to a bright source is analyzed for an infrared imaging optical system. Irradiance from the bright source is spread throughout the focal plane according to the characteristics of the system. This effect is attributed to diffraction, reflection and scattering in...
