Abstract

The point spread function of a complex three-zone pupil function is analyzed in the presence of primary spherical aberration and defocus. The second zone is phase-shifted by -π/5, and the third zone by +π/7. Apodization is applied using three filters: a Bartlett amplitude filter for the inner zone, a shaded amplitude filter for the second zone, and a Hanning amplitude filter for the third zone. The primary goal is to enhance the central maximum's intensity, eliminate side lobes, and reduce the radius of the first dark ring. A notable increase in the central maximum occurs when the apodization parameter is set to β = 1.0, and minimized the first dark ring's radius under high spherical aberration and defocus
