psf_from_opd — OPTICS imaging_sim op

Data kinds: tableimage2d

Call: import lensimage; lensimage.psf_from_opd(system, field=None, size=None, wavelength_um=None, pixel_pitch_um=None, oversample=4) (or opsoptics.get("psf_from_opd"))

Usage

Diffraction PSF of the real, aberrated pupil (`image2d`, sums to 1).

The pupil function `P = mask · exp(i·2π·W)` comes from

:func:raytrace.opd_samples (*W* in waves on a `size × size` grid over the

exit pupil; `size=None` picks a grid that keeps the phase below 0.4 waves

per sample, up to :data:MAX_PUPIL_SAMPLES; an explicit *size* that aliases

is refused). The PSF is `|FFT(P)|²` on a zero-padded grid whose sample

spacing is `λ·F#·(size−1)/M ≈ λ·F#/oversample` with the working

f-number `F# = 1/(2·NA_image) from :func:raytrace.paraxial_trace`.

With *pixel_pitch_um* the fine PSF is area-integrated onto detector

pixels of that pitch (each fine sample is binned into the pixel it falls

in; the pitch must not be finer than the sample spacing).

Ground truth (`tests/test_lensimage.py`): an unaberrated pupil (the

singlet stopped to a 1 mm semi-aperture) gives the Airy pattern — first

dark ring at `1.22·λ·F#` within 3 %, 83.8 % ± 1 % of the energy inside

it; the f/4 singlet (11 waves of spherical aberration) has a Strehl ratio

below 0.05 (peak versus the unaberrated peak of the same pupil).

Family-wide input contract (fail-closed)

Every optics op validates its input before computing (nothing slips through silently):

Units are baked into the argument name_mm / _um / _deg / _mrad. Confusing mm with µm does not crash; it yields a plausible-looking wrong answer, so the name prevents it. Nothing here guesses the unit from the magnitude.

• **Strings raise ValueError** — float('50') succeeds, so an unparsed configuration value would slip through as a length (measured: thin_lens('50', '200') returned a plausible 66.667 mm). bool is refused too, as the implicit promotion True == 1.

• **complex / masked arrays raise ValueError (real-valued slots only; silently dropping the imaginary part or peeling off the mask is refused). NaN/Inf raises ValueError on every input.**

Division by zero and its relatives are refused by name: focal length 0, radius of curvature 0, refractive index <= 0, a fully opaque aperture (all zeros, so the normalisation is 0/0), a PSF whose sum is <= 0, a Stokes vector with S0 = 0, and an object sitting at the front focal point (the image is at infinity).

Only two ops return a non-finite value, and both state it as a contract: depth_of_field returns far_mm = inf beyond the hyperfocal distance (that is what the hyperfocal distance means), and gaussian_beam returns wavefront_radius_mm = inf at the waist (the radius of curvature of a plane wavefront). Both also return a finite companion (far_is_infinite / curvature_per_mm). **Any other silent NaN/Inf is detected internally and raises ValueError** — "float64 overflowed" and "the answer is infinite" are different claims, so the first is never returned wearing the face of the second.

Size caps: generated grids are capped by optics.MAX_GRID (4096); supplied fields/PSFs/apertures by optics.MAX_FIELD_ELEMENTS (2^24); ABCD element chains by optics.MAX_SYSTEM_ELEMENTS (1024); Zernike by MAX_ZERNIKE_TERMS (512) / MAX_ZERNIKE_ORDER (40) / MAX_ZERNIKE_BASIS (2^25). This closes, fail-closed, the paths where a small argument triggers a huge internal allocation (measured: n_max=40 × 4096² needs 108 GB).

Physically impossible states are refused too: a Stokes vector with degree of polarisation > 1, negative transmittance, negative intensity, and invalid Zernike indices such as n-|m| odd.
