Application of Sine-Wave Techniques to Image-Forming Systems

Robert L. Lamberts

The usefulness of sine-wave response or, to use the recommended terminology, modulation transfer function, in evaluating optical and photographic systems experimentally is shown. The synthesis of a square wave from its Fourier components is demonstrated. The reasons for the pronounced influence of adjacency effects on the transfer function and the consequent usefulness of the latter as a measure of adjacency effects are explained.
