Gitin ∗ Max-Born-Institut für Nichtlineare Optik und Kurzzeitspektroskopie, Max-Born-Str. 2a, D-12489 Berlin, Germany a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: The radiometry of quasi-homogeneous sources is derived from the theory of partial coherence by using Received 13 April 2011 properties of the Wigner definition function. Suggested is the linear-system approach to the process of Accepted 29 August 2011 forming an optical image in which the convolution operator is used twice. First to describe influence of aberrations of an optical system on the image quality. Second to describe influence of the radiation pattern of the source-object and the form and the size of the entrance pupil on the fall-off of the irradiance Keywords: from centre of the image plane to its edge.

Introduction Traditional radiometry is based on the a priory assumption that the source radiates according to the Lambert’s law. It has a very wide field of applica
