GEOMETRIC VS. DIFFRACTION PREDICTION OF PROPERTIES OF A STAR IMAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ISOTROPIC RANDOM WAVEFRONT DISTURBANCE

QC 351 A7 no. 32 === A random perturbation in the wavefront transmitted through an optical system results in diffraction effects in the image which are describable in terms of the statistical measures of the wavefront perturbations, whereas the geometrical effects are determined only by the st...
