Abstract
In a few earlier communications, spatial-transverse-impulse response (STIR) associated with the initial field transversely distributed across the entrance pupil of an inhomogeneous optical wave guide (photoreceptor) has been investigated. In the present work, effects of indetermination in the location of the origin on an arbitrarily defined refractive index profile, representing the degree of inhomogeity at the aperture pupil of a single receptor, have been studied. Some consequences related to a few possible technical applications have been discussed.
In alcune precedenti comunicazioni, è stata studiata la risposta spaziale dell'impulso traverso (STIR) associato con il campo iniziale a distribuzione trasversale distribuito attraverso la pupilla d'ingresso di una guida d'onda ottica inomogenea (fotorecettore). In questo lavoro si sono studiati gli effetti d'indeterminazione nella collocazione dell'origine su un profilo d'indice rifrattivo definito arbitrariamente, che rappresenta il grado di inomogeneità alla pupilla di apertura di un singolo recettore. Sono state discusse alcune conseguenze in relazione con poche possibili applicazioni tecniche.
В некоторых предыдущих публикациях исследовался пространственный поперечный импульсный отклик, свазанный с начальм полем, поперенно распределенными поперек входного зрачка неоднородного оптического волновода (фоторецептора). В данной работе изучается влияние неопреденности в местоположении начала на произвольно определенный профиль показателя преломления, представляющий степень неоднородности на апертурном зрачке отдельного рецептора. Обсуждаются некоторые следствия, связанные с возможными техническими приложениями.
