Strehl ratio and amplitude-weighted generalized orthonormal Zernike-based polynomials.
The concept of orthonormal polynomials is revisited by developing a Zernike-based orthonormal set for a non-circular pupil that is transmitting an aberrated, non-uniform field. We refer to this pupil as a general pupil. The process is achieved by using the matrix form of the Gram-Schmidt procedure on Zernike circle polynomials and is interpreted as a process of balancing each Zernike circle pol...
متن کاملTransformation of Zernike coefficients: scaled, translated, and rotated wavefronts with circular and elliptical pupils.
Zernike polynomials and their associated coefficients are commonly used to quantify the wavefront aberrations of the eye. When the aberrations of different eyes, pupil sizes, or corrections are compared or averaged, it is important that the Zernike coefficients have been calculated for the correct size, position, orientation, and shape of the pupil. We present the first complete theory to trans...
متن کاملORTHOGONAL BASIS FUNCTIONS OVER THE BINOCULAR PUPIL Richard
Sets of orthogonal basis functions over circular areas – pupils in optical applications – are known in the literature for the full circle (Zernike or Jacobi polynomials) and the annulus. Here, an orthogonal set is proposed if the area is two non-overlapping circles of equal size. The geometric master parameter is the ratio of the pupil radii over the distance between both circles. Increasingly ...
متن کاملComplete Modal Representation with Discrete Zernike Polynomials - Critical Sampling in Non Redundant Grids
Zernike polynomials (ZPs) form a complete orthogonal basis on a circle of unit radius. This is useful in optics, since a great majority of lenses and optical instruments have circular shape and/or circular pupil. The ZP expansion is typically used to describe either optical surfaces or distances between surfaces, such as optical path differences (OPD), wavefront phase or wave aberration. Theref...
متن کاملOrthonormal vector polynomials in a unit circle, Part I: Basis set derived from gradients of Zernike polynomials.
Zernike polynomials provide a well known, orthogonal set of scalar functions over a circular domain, and are commonly used to represent wavefront phase or surface irregularity. A related set of orthogonal functions is given here which represent vector quantities, such as mapping distortion or wavefront gradient. These functions are generated from gradients of Zernike polynomials, made orthonorm...
