1.1. Double-helix point spread function (DH-PSF)
A DH-PSF system can be implemented by introducing a phase mask in the Fourier plane of an
otherwise standard imaging system. The phase mask is designed such that its transmittance
function generates a rotating pattern in the focal region of a Fourier transform lens [15-18].
Specifically, the DH-PSF exhibits two lobes that spin around the opticalaperture. An animate

Conclusions
• Wave optics phenomena can be understood
with geometrical ray based representation
• There are many different phase-space
representations
• We hope to inspire researchers in computer
vision/graphics as well as in optics graphics
to develop new tools and algorithms based
on joint exploration of geometric and wave
optics concepts
