IMPROVING COHERENT IMAGING BY TARGETED OPTIMIZATION OF LOW- AND MID-ORDER ABERRATIONS: W11, W31, W30, W40, W51, W60

Abstract

 However, analyzing optical aberration and designing for optimal aberration in an optical system is critical. We have derived the equation for the optimum balance of spherical aberrations and studied the effect of aberrations on images formed for objects with sharp edges. We also transformed the aberration coefficients (W51), (W31), (W11), (W60), (W40), and (W30) ‎for a circular aperture and set all aberration coefficients to 0. We ran the program and ‎analyzed the outcomes after correcting for the specific (Z') values to ensure the validity of this system. ‎
