Analysis of Optical Transfer Function and Phase Error of the Modified Triangular Interferometer

  • Published : 2007.01.31

Abstract

We synthesize and analyze the optical transfer function(OTF) of the modified triangular interferometer(MTI) using two-pupil synthesis method and we present the optimal MTI, which can obtain any bipolar function by combining a wave plate and a linear polarizer. Also, we analyze its potential phase error sources caused by polarization components.
