title: Optical transfer function of three-dimensional display systems.
abstract: I investigate the optical transfer function of three-dimensional display systems. Moreover, I obtain an average sampled modulation transfer function describing discrete, sampled display systems and show that in the proper limit of geometrical optics it is equivalent to the shift-invariant optical transfer function. I apply the theory to describe holographic stereograms and discuss the effects of amplitude and phase filters on the optical resolution.
