FIGURE 4.10: Imaging due to refraction<br />

intersection-width n whose exact location depends on <strong>the</strong> object-distance ¨<br />

and <strong>the</strong> index<br />

<strong>of</strong> refraction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two media. In addition, <strong>the</strong> magnitude <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> aberrations is proportional<br />

to <strong>the</strong> angle <strong>of</strong> incidence, because <strong>the</strong> variation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> intersection ³ width increases with<br />

increasing aperture angle. <strong>The</strong> limit ¨µ´ is important as all rays intersect in only one<br />

point located at infinity and no aberrations occur at all. This situation can be generated ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

by using an optical collimator which <strong>for</strong>ms parallel rays or by stopping <strong>the</strong> lens in a way<br />

that all rays are nearly parallel be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong>y enter <strong>the</strong> planar interface. <strong>The</strong> last possibility<br />

is frequently used in PIV but its applicability mainly depends on <strong>the</strong> output energy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

laser, on <strong>the</strong> cross-section <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> light-sheet, on <strong>the</strong> scattering behaviour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> particles and<br />

finally on <strong>the</strong> sensitivity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CCD camera. It should be emphasised that in contrast to <strong>the</strong><br />

refraction, reflections at a planar interface are aberration free, because all light rays from an<br />

object perfectly intersect in one virtual image point independent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> angle <strong>of</strong> incidence on<br />

<strong>the</strong> mirror. This is different <strong>for</strong> non planar surfaces where caustics can be observed.<br />

FIGURE 4.11: Schematic representation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> image size and orientation <strong>for</strong> a non-axial object point<br />

as a function <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lateral position after [6].<br />

When <strong>the</strong> situation is considered where an object point lies a considerable distance away<br />

from <strong>the</strong> optical axis, as indicated in figure 4.11, <strong>the</strong> incident cone <strong>of</strong> rays will strike <strong>the</strong><br />

lens in an asymmetrical way. As a result, <strong>the</strong> focal length in this plane will be different<br />

as well due to <strong>the</strong> different optical path. In effect <strong>the</strong> meridional rays are tilted more with<br />
