Next: A New Phase Up: Better HST Point-Spread Functions: Previous: Introduction . The PSF for an optical system is determined by the amplitude and phase of the (approximately) spherical wavefront as it converges on the point of focus. ... Phase retrieval is the process of trying to recover the wavefront error (and possibly the amplitude as well) given a measurement of the PSF. Phase-retrieval methods have been used since the discovery of the aberration in the HST primary mirror (Burrows et al. ...

... Impedance . Electrical impedance, or simply impedance, describes a measure of opposition to a sinusoidal alternating current (AC). Electrical impedance extends the concept of resistance to AC circuits, describing not only the relative amplitudes of the voltage and current, but also the relative phases. ... Resistance is the real part of impedance; a device with a purely resistive impedance exhibits no phase shift between the voltage and current. ...

... Virtually all detectors and telesco pes are sensitive to only a particular range of frequencies or wavelengths. ... Flux per unit wavelength or frequency So in practice, when we measure how much radiation we receive from some object, we usually mean the energy at some particular frequency, not the integral of the energy over all frequencies (which would be the bolometric brightness). ... But imaging data at UV, optical and IR wavelengths often uses a different approach: broad-band imaging. ...
