Zernike aberration coefficients from Seidel and higher-order power-series coefficients

Opt Lett. 1983 Jul 1;8(7):407-8. doi: 10.1364/ol.8.000407.

Abstract

An analytical derivation of Zernike aberration coefficients is presented, starting from the Seidel and higher-order power-series aberration coefficients. An azimuth symmetrical aberration function has been used. The first 155 nonvanishing terms of the conversion matrix are also given in rational form.
