Abstract

We synthesize and analyze the optical transfer function(OTF) of the modified triangular interferometer(MTI) using two-pupil synthesis method and we present the optimal MTI, which can obtain any bipolar function by combining a wave plate and a linear polarizer. Also, we analyze its potential phase error sources caused by polarization components.
