description

Abstract The intensity distribution along different paths in the image space of an optical system is described in a two-dimensional phase-space domain in terms of the Wigner distribution function. This approach is useful for an efficient analysis of the performance of optical imaging systems suffering from spherical aberration. The good performance of the method is shown in some numerical simulations.
