Simple OTF Stability Based Method for Pupil Phase Mask's Optimization in Wavefront Coding System

By using the wavefront coding technique to an optical system,the depth of focus can be greatly increased.Several complicated methods have already been taken to optimize for the best pupil phase mask in ideal condition.Here one simple optical transfer function (OTF) stability based method with only sagittal and tangential polychromatic OTF taken into account is applied to optimize for the best coefficients of pupil phase mask in practical optical systems.Only the standard deviation based metric is used to evaluate the OTF stability over the depth of focus,and a simple Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) searching strategy is applied to search for the best coefficients in the coefficients space.Better and more stable imaging quality over a larger depth of focus is acquired with the optimized pupil phase mask.The imaging quality of systems with and without optimized pupil phase mask is compared and the tolerance for coefficients is calculated.
