Abstract
Abstract For paraxial wave-fields in two dimensions, it is known that the defocused OTF is given by a section through the ambiguity function. This is no longer true for high aperture fields. It is shown that there is a simple relationship, even for high aperture fields, between the two-dimensional (one transverse and one longitudinal) generalized OTF and the spectral correlation function. The connection with the Wigner distribution function is also discussed. The generalization to three-dimensional wavefields is also considered.
