Distribution of colour in the polychromatic line spread function. Influence of the aberrations

Abstract

The colour distribution in the Polychromatic Line Spread Function is computed in the case of primary aberrations. Different corrections of longitudinal and transverse chromatism, constant and dispersive cases of spherical aberration, coma and astigmatism have been considered. The calculations have been carried out for source C, and the standard observer, specified by the three sensitivity functions of the human eye CIE 1931.
