Derivation of the refraction equations for higher-order aberrations of local wavefronts at oblique incidence.

摘要: From the literature calculation of power and astigmatism a local wavefront after refraction at given surface is known from vergence Coddington equations. For higher-order aberrations (HOAs) equivalent analytical equations do not exist. Since HOAs play an increasingly important role in many fields optics, e.g., ophthalmic it purpose this study to extend “generalized equation” case HOA (e.g., coma spherical aberration). This done by series expansions. In summary, with results presented here, now possible calculate analytically outgoing directly incoming refractive surface.
