Optimum balanced wave-front aberrations for radially symmetric amplitude distributions: Generalizations of Zernike polynomials

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Zernike aberration theory for constant amplitude circular apertures is extended to annular apertures having a Gaussian-like radial taper. Explicit expressions are obtained for the optimum balanced wave-front aberrations in terms of shifted Jacobi polynomials. Properties of the polynomials (e.g., Rodrigues formula, recurrence relations, derivatives, etc.) are investigated.
