What is a Source Spread Function?
Optical engineers and lens designers know what a point spread function (PSF) is. But what about a 'source spread function' (SSF)? This was a term I coined and introduced in a 2022 paper I published in the European Journal of Physics. In this video, I give a brief introduction to the SSF and explain why it's useful.
