Test Operations Procedure (TOP) 6-3-044. Optical Transfer Function

Abstract

This TOP describes the instrumentation and procedures for measuring the on-axis and off-axis Optical Transfer Function (OTF) of direct view telescopic systems in a laboratory environment. This TOP deals with OTF measurement of direct view (visual waveband, 400-700 nm) telescopic sights in a laboratory environment and assumes that the operator has a working knowledge of the principles of optics.
