Strehl ratio for focusing into biaxially birefringent media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Strehl ratio for focusing into biaxially birefringent media with small birefringence is investigated. An analytical expression for the Strehl ratio as a function of the polarization and birefringence parameters is derived in the paraxial limit from a generalization of the scalar aberration theory. The expression agrees well with results of a numerical calculation.
