Simulation And Experiment

AbstractThe charge-coupled devices used in electron microscopy are coated with a scintillating crystal that gives rise to a severe modulation transfer function (MTF). Exact knowledge of the MTF is imperative for a good correspondence between image simulation and experiment. We present a practical method to measure the MTF above the Nyquist frequency from the beam blocker's shadow image. The image processing has been fully automated and the program is made public. The method is successfully tested on three cameras with various beam blocker shapes.

Modulation Transfer

Based on the principle of passive optical athermalization, a wide field medium wave infrared optical system is designed for working at -40℃-60℃. A 320×240 focal plane array (FPA) detector as image plane is used in the system. The system has a field-of-view of 30°×22.72° and a relative aperture of f/2 at 3-5 µm with 100% cold shield efficiency. The modulation transfer function (MTF) of each field is greater than 0.6 at the Nyquist frequency and the maximum distortion is less than 3% at -40℃-60℃. The system can meet the demand of the excellent image quality. This work is valuable for athermalization design of wide field medium wave infrared optical system.
