Part 2: Directives of measurement
1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 4315 specifies general guidelines for the construction and
use of the optical transfer function (OTF) measuring equipment of the imaging
system.
This Part describes various important factors that may affect OTF measurement.
At the same time, it specifies the general rules for measuring equipment
performance requirements and environmental controls.
This Part specifies the points that must be paid attention to to ensure accurate
measurement, as well as the correction factors for the measured data.
The optical transfer function measuring equipment described in this Part is
limited to analyzing the radiation distribution on the image plane of the optical
imaging system under test. This equipment does not include interferometer-
based instruments.

The temperature and humidity must be kept within the specified tolerances. And
they shall be recorded. In order to avoid the influence of air disturbance and
stratification on the measurement, a protective cover can be used.
4.2.2 Vibration
In order to reduce vibration, it is recommended to use a vibration-isolation base.
For a given measurement accuracy, the degree of vibration isolation depends
on the characteristics of the vibration, the measurement method, and the spatial
frequency range. If the measurement method is based on the measurement of
line spread function, the displacement of the image on the image analyzer
caused by vibration shall not exceed 1/20 of the maximum intensity half-width
of the test slit image.
4.2.3 Electromagnetic interference
The change of power supply, the influence of external electromagnetic field,
and the influence of surrounding light intensity must be reduced to not affect
the OTF measurement.
4.3 Measuring equipment
4.3.1 Optical table
Any measuring equipment must consist of a sturdy optical bench or optical table.
It is used to place test target unit, test sample, image analyzer, and other
auxiliary units.
According to the different conditions of the imaging system under test, different
requirements shall be put forward for the linearity of each adjustment link and
the parallelism of slideways. The change in MTF measurement, caused by
deviation from any of the above requirements, shall not be more than 1/3 of the
allowable or specified measurement accuracy.
4.3.2 Defocusing tolerance
The defocusing effect, generated from the misalignment of the optical bench,
causes the measurement error of the MTF. The defocus and degree of change
of MTF are related to spatial frequency and F-number. Table 1 shows the
defocusing amount ±ΔZ for the ±0.05 MTF change caused by a diffraction-
limited lens of incoherent illumination with a circular pupil. The wavelength of
the light is 500 nm.
4.4.2 Test target unit
The test target unit consists of a test target and a radiation source.
4.4.2.1 Test target
According to the characteristics of the test sample, circular apertures, slits,
edges, gratings, and self-luminous test targets with known geometric shapes
can usually be used. The spatial frequency spectrum of the test target used to
measure the OTF must be known. The geometry shall be very accurate. For
example, in the case of using slits, the width of the slits shall be consistent
throughout the effective length. The parallelism tolerance of the two edges of
the slit is 2% of its average width. The straightness of the edges shall not
exceed 10% of the average width. While specifying the tolerance of the slit itself,
it is also necessary to specify the transmittance around the slit. According to the
required measurement accuracy, within the specified spectral range, the ratio
OF the total radiant flux emitted by the open part of the slit TO the total radiant
flux emitted by the surrounding dark part must be greater than 1000.
In order to be able to perform OTF measurements in different orientations, the
orientation of the non-rotationally symmetrical test target must be changeable.
Some imaging systems need to rotate the image of the test target. So in order
to turn the image of the test target or the analysis element to the proper
orientation required for analysis, a precise adjustment mechanism is required.
In order to be able to check and meet the conditions of the isoplanatic region,
the size of the test target must be adjustable.
4.4.2.2 Radiation source
During the measurement, the spectral emission of the light source and the
radiation distribution in the whole space must be kept constant. Light pulsation
shall be eliminated.
The test target must be irradiated or radiate uniformly, at least in the scanning
direction.
Filters can be used to obtain the required spectral distribution. It is necessary
to prevent the test target from being damaged by overheating. Radiating grids,
diffusers, finite apertures, or other elements can be used to obtain the required
radiation angle distribution.
Full attention must be paid to the incoherence of the radiation emitted by the
test target. When the numerical aperture of the condenser on the test target
side is twice the numerical aperture of the test sample, sufficient incoherence
can be obtained. In addition, between the light source and the test target, a
of the detector from significantly affecting the measurement accuracy.
The radiation transmitted to the detector from the dark part around the analysis
element must be kept extremely small. According to the required measurement
accuracy, within the specified spectral region, the energy transmitted by the
light-transmitting part must exceed 1000 times the energ...
