Transfer function (TF) for linear time invariant system and optical transfer function (OTF) for linear space shaft invariant system are compared and contrasted. TF is the unilateral Laplace transform of system’s one-dimensional unit impulse response, dimensions of the input and output may be same or different, TF can be used to describe a variety of filter or to express solution of linear differential equations accurately. But OTF is the Fourier transform of system’s two-dimensional impulse response, dimensions of the input and output must be same, OTF can be used only to describe a low-pass filter or to express solution of the linear univariate partial differential equations approximately. Their eigenfunctions are similar complex exponential functions. OTF has stricter requirements and application conditions than TF. It is helpful to the readers’ understanding of TF and OTF.
