`

`
`zontal scale is proportional to the tangent of the ray slope angle.Fol-

`The exact diffraction MTF cannot besc
`
`diffraction MTF, since it includes diffracti
`
`wavelength, will not scale because the wavelens th
`
`scaled with the lens. A geometric MTF can bescal
`
`spatial frequency ordinate of the MTF plot by the scaling
`
`course, because it neglects diffraction, the geometric MTFis
`
`accurate unless the aberrations are very large (and the MTFis cor
`¥
`spondingly poor).
`Hee
`
`A diffraction MTF can bescaled very approximately as follows: De-
`termine the OPD which corresponds to the MTF value ofthelens for
`several spatial frequencies. This can be done by comparing the MTF
`plot for the lens to Figs. 4.3 and 4.4, which relate the MTF to OPD.
`Then multiply the OPD bythe scaling factor and, again using Figs 4.3
`and 4.4, determine the MTF corresponding to these scaled OPD val-
`ues. Obviously the accuracy of this procedure depends on how well the
`simple relationships of Figs. 4.3 and 4.4 represent the usually complex
`mix of aberrationsin a reallens.
`In the event that a proposed changeof apertureorfield is expected
`to produce a change in the amountof the aberrations, one can attempt
`to scale the MTF as affected by aberration. This is done by determin-
`ing the type of aberration which most severely limits the MTF, then
`Scaling the OPD according to the way that this aberration scales with
`aperture or field, in a manner analogousto that described in Sec. 5.3.
`In general, OPD as a function of aperture varies as one higher expo-
`nent of the aperture than does the corresponding transverse aberra-
`tion. For example,
`the OPD for third-order transverse spherical
`(which varies as Y°) varies as the fourth powerof the ray height. In a
`form analogous to Eqs. 5.3 and 5.4, which indicate a power series ex-
`pansion of the transverse aberrations as a function of aperture and
