3 Contents 1. Optical path difference 2. Definition of wave aberrations 3. Zernike polynomials 4. Measurement of wave aberrations
4 Rays and Wavefronts § Rays and Wavefront forms an orthotomic system § Any closed path integral has zero value § Corresponds to law of Malus and Fermats principle Ref: W. Singer
5 Wave Aberration in Optical Systems § Definition of optical path length in an optical system: Reference sphere around the ideal object point through the center of the pupil § Chief ray serves as reference Difference of OPL : optical path difference OPD § Practical calculation: discrete sampling of the pupil area, real wave surface represented as matrix
6 Relationships § Concrete calculation of wave aberration: addition of discrete optical path lengths (OPL) § Reference on chief ray and reference sphere (optical path difference) § Relation to transverse aberrations § Conversion between longitudinal transverse and wave aberrations § Scaling of the phase / wave aberration: 1. Phase angle in radiant 2. Light path (OPL) in mm 3. Light path scaled in l
7 Wave Aberration § Definition of the peak valley value
8 Wave Aberrations § Mean quadratic wave deviation ( WRms , root mean square ) with pupil area § Peak valley value Wpv : largest difference § General case with apodization: weighting of local phase errors with intensity, relevance for psf formation
9 Wave Aberrations § Wave aberration: relative to reference sphere § Choice of offset value: vanishing mean § Sign of W : - W > 0 : stronger convergence intersection : s < 0 - W < 0 : stronger divergence intersection : s < 0
10 Tilt of Wavefront § Change of reference sphere: tilt by angle q linear in yp § Wave aberration due to transverse aberration Dy‘
11 Defocussing of Wavefront Paraxial defocussing by Dz: Change of wavefront
12 Zernike Polynomials § Expansion of the wave aberration on a circular area § Zernike polynomials in cylindrical coordinates: Radial function R(r), index n Azimuthal function j, index m § Orthonormality § Advantages: 1. Minimal properties due to Wrms 2. Decoupling, fast computation 3. Direct relation to primary aberrations for low orders § Problems: 1. Computation oin discrete grids 2. Non circular pupils 3. Different conventions concerning indeces, scaling, coordinate system ,
13 Zernike Polynomials: Different Nomenclatures 1. Fringe - representation - Code. V, Zemax, interferometric test of surfaces - Standardization of the boundary to ± 1 - no additional prefactors in the polynomial - Indexing accordint to m (Azimuth), quadratic number terms have circular symmetry - coordinate system invariant in azimuth 2. Standard - representation - Code. V, Zemax, Born / Wolf - Standardization of rms-value on ± 1 (with prefactors), easy to calculate Strehl ratio - coordinate system invariant in azimuth 3. Original - Nijboer - representation - Expansion: - Standardization of rms-value on ± 1 - coordinate system rotates in azimuth according to field point
14 Zernike Polynomials § Zernike polynomials orders by indices: n : radial m : azimuthal, sin/cos § Orthonormal function on unit circle § Expansion of wave aberration surface § Direct relation to primary aberration types § Direct measurement by interferometry § Orthogonality perturbed: 1. apodization 2. discretization 3. real non-circular boundary
15 Calculation of Zernike Polynomials § Assumptions: 1. Pupil circular 2. Illumination homogeneous 3. Neglectible discretization effects /sampling, boundary) § Direct computation by double integral: 1. Time consuming 2. Errors due to discrete boundary shape 3. Wrong for non circular areas 4. Independent coefficients § LSQ-fit computation: 1. Fast, all coefficients cj simultaneously 2. Better total approximation 3. Non stable for different numbers of coefficients, if number too low § Stable for non circular shape of pupil

Zernike Coefficients in Zemax § Available: 1. Fringe 2. Standard 3. Tatian-Zernike (ring pupil) § Usual: Coefficients for one wavelength and one field point in the image § Also possible: - changes over the field coordinate - at every surface in the system - on a subaperture § Calculation of Strehl ratio in Marechal approximation 22
23 Zernike Variation over Field § New option in Zemax: - change of selected number of Zernike coefficients as a function of the field coordinate - several settings can be chosen § Shows the uniformity of quality over the image field
24 Correction Variation over Field § Rms field map - change of quality criterion over field - several options for criteria: spot size, wave rms, Strehl § Representation of uniformity of correction § Example: spot diameter changes between 6. 6 and 8. 6 mm
