Linearity Of An Electrophotographic Image Reproduction System, Lloyd Clark Dec 1983

Linearity Of An Electrophotographic Image Reproduction System, Lloyd Clark

Theses

The linearity of image transfer is analyzed for a high resolution electrophotographic film and electrodeveloper combination. The extent of nonlinearities introduced upon transfer through the photoconduction and electrodevelopment stages is conceptualized in terms of inherent physical mechanisms. A spectral shift in narrow band exposing radiation is used to test significance of exponential absorption on linearity of photoconduction transfer. Variations in development electrode spacing and development time test for nonlinearity induced by temporal and spatial frequency dependent depletion of electrodeveloper particles. As the electrophotographic film employed in the test exhibited low absorption coefficients in all spectral bands, exponential absorption of exposing …


Comparison Of Methods Of Mtf/Otf Analysis For Optical Systems, Jean Croteau Nov 1983

Comparison Of Methods Of Mtf/Otf Analysis For Optical Systems, Jean Croteau

Theses

A comparison study for the methods of obtaining the MTF of optical systems was performed. It is demonstrated that non-Fourier methods are as good predictors of the MTF as are the Fourier methods. A new technique based on the moment theorem is introduced and is found to be a good predictor. A computer algorithm has been written to perform all the necessary operations.
