AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the imaging qualities of three different types of refractive axicons: linear, logarithmic, and Fresnel.
- The researchers determine the point spread functions (PSFs) for each axicon through experimental methods and numerical simulations.
- The findings include a comparison of imaging performance for these axicons, highlighting their PSFs' impact on image quality and potential for use in digital noise reduction.
Article Abstract
The imaging properties of three types of refractive axicons are examined by using them in an imaging system. A linear axicon, a logarithmic axicon, and a Fresnel axicon are characterized by determining their point spread functions (PSFs) experimentally and by numerical simulation. The PSFs, which vary along the depth of field for the cases considered in the present investigation, are used in digital filters to denoise the images. A comparison of the imaging performance of these three optical elements is presented.
