Abstract

The divided-pupil technique for the simulation of confocal imaging is applied to remove those artifacts appearing due to the symmetry of the object. A rigorous treatment is used to model the imaging system which is a two-dimensional confocal microscope, working in reflection mode. Since the geometry of the associated electromagnetic problem is 2-D, the objects analyzed are highly symmetric and cylindrical. The advantages and limitations of this technique are discussed and shown by means of examples.
