1, Modelling optical system in codev and getting system response functions, using these functions in matlab to build input/output spectrum relationship( such as: if input spectrum distribution is known, matlab does convolution to predict the output,... ); @0q*50
By the way, right now 9.7/9.8 provides diffraction imaging function, probably it can perform the same. pJ]i)$M
