Dr. David Biss, Senior Manager of Optical Engineering at Optikos Corporation, returns to the Photonics West stage this January with fresh insights for the life sciences sector. Drawn from years of hands-on experience solving complex optical challenges, his talk “Correlating final system performance metrics with design metrics of optical imaging systems in biomedical devices” addresses a persistent industry problem he has seen time and time again in his …
Modulation Transfer Function for Performance Success in Optics MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) has become the gold-standard metric for evaluatingmodern optical systems because it objectively measures how well a lens transfers contrastand detail across spatial frequencies. From smartphone cameras to autonomous vehiclesensors, as optical systems grow more complex, multielement, and application-specific, MTFprovides a universal, quantitative, and application-relevant way to validate real …
