Abstract

The problem of degrees of freedom of the images of a coherent aplanatic optical system suffering from aberrations is investigated by means of a suitable eigenfunction technique. This analysis leads to an evaluation of the number of effective degrees of freedom in the presence of band-limited noise. This number turns out to be independent of aberrations.
