Three-dimensional incoherent optical transfer function in the presence of third-order spherical aberration

We derive the expression for the three-dimensional incoherent optical transfer function when third-order spherical aberration is present. The normalized version of the transfer function is numerically calculated for various amounts of spherical aberration. We find the effects of the aberration to be...
