专利汇可以提供Apparatus for measuring the spatial response of optical systems专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且To measure the spatial response characteristics of optical systems, control circuitry is provided to electrically generate a predetermined one-dimensional spatial waveform (e.g., sinusoidal) on the display screen of a cathode ray tube. The optical system to be tested (e.g., a television system) is placed between the spatial waveform display and a suitable detector which comprises a mask having a narrow slit followed by a photomultiplier. The output of the latter is then displayed on an oscilloscope, or measured in some other known fashion. A linear light modulation is achieved for the spatial waveform display by gating a linearly scanned electron beam with constant amplitude, constant duration, variable duty cycle pulses. Appropriate waveforms can be selected to evaluate the spatial frequency response, transient response, linearity, or steady state response of the optical system under test.,下面是Apparatus for measuring the spatial response of optical systems专利的具体信息内容。
