The present work deals with monochromatic wavefront aberrations in optical systems without symmetries. The treatment begins with a class of systems characterized by misaligned spherical surfaces whose behavior is analyzed using the wavefront aberration exp ...
In this paper we derive scalar analytical expressions describing the full field dependence of Zernike polynomials in optical systems without symmetries. We consider the general case of optical systems constituted by arbitrarily tilted and decentered circul ...
This paper deals with the theory of primary aberrations for perturbed double-plane symmetric optical systems consisting of a combination of tilted and decentered surfaces and a circular pupil. First, the analytical expressions describing the full field beh ...
This paper focuses on depth of field (DOF) extension through polarization aberrations. The addition of polarizing elements into an optical system allows to exploit the polarization of the incoming light as an additional degree of freedom in the optical sys ...
An array of plano-concave mini-lenses is designed to realize a particular version of Light Field camera known as Plenoptic Camera 1.2. The Delano diagram related to the on-axis optical channel of such a camera is computed to show its retro-focus behavior a ...
Characterization and calibration measurements of two Cherenkov probes have been performed in ENEA Frascati's laboratories. Different kinds of radiation have been used, from visible light to x-rays, in order to evaluate possible spurious responses of the pr ...
A Focused Plenoptic Camera in Galilean configuration is studied and its aberrations behavior is interpreted with the Nodal Aberration Theory (NAT). Sequential ray tracing is applied to individual optical channels constituted by the camera objective and ind ...
