Image Formation in an Optical System
Author Affiliations +
Abstract
In this chapter, we describe the physics of image formation and the methods of computing aerial images formed by precision optical systems used in optical lithography. We begin this chapter by giving the reader an overview of the imaging process, from which the factors affecting the resolution limit of an optical system can be clearly seen.
