MORAIS AND I. CAC¸ AO˜ Abstract. Over the past few years considerable attention has been given to the role played by the Zernike polynomials (ZPs) in many different fields of geometrical optics, optical engineering, and astronomy. The ZPs and their applications to corneal surface modeling played a key role in this develop- ment. These polynomials are a complete set of orthogonal functions over the unit circle and are commonly used to describe balanced aberrations. In the present paper we introduce the Zernike spherical polynomials within quater- nionic analysis ((R)QZSPs), which refine and extend the Zernike moments (defined through their polynomial counterparts). In particular, the underlying functions are of three real variables and take on either values in the reduced and full quaternions (identified, respectively, with R3 and R4). (R)QZSPs are orthonormal in the unit ball. The representation of these functions in terms of spherical monogenics over the unit sphere are explicitly given, from which several recurrence formulae for fast computer implementations can be derived. A summary of their fundamental properties and a further second or- der homogeneous differential equation are also discussed. As an application, we provide the reader with plot simulations that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. (R)QZSPs are new in literature and have some consequences that are now under investigation. 1. Introduction 1.1. The Zernike spherical polynomials. The complex Zernike polynomials (ZPs) have long been successfully used in many different fields of optics.

  • Wavefront Parameters Recovering by Using Point Spread Function
    Wavefront Parameters Recovering by Using Point Spread Function Olga Kalinkina[0000-0002-2522-8496], Tatyana Ivanova[0000-0001-8564-243X] and Julia Kushtyseva[0000-0003-1101-6641] ITMO University, 197101 Kronverksky pr. 49, bldg. A, Saint-Petersburg, Russia [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. At various stages of the life cycle of optical systems, one of the most important tasks is quality of optical system elements assembly and alignment control. The different wavefront reconstruction algorithms have already proven themselves to be excellent assistants in this. Every year increasing technical ca- pacities opens access to the new algorithms and the possibilities of their appli- cation. The paper considers an iterative algorithm for recovering the wavefront parameters. The parameters of the wavefront are the Zernike polynomials coef- ficients. The method involves using a previously known point spread function to recover Zernike polynomials coefficients. This work is devoted to the re- search of the defocusing influence on the convergence of the algorithm. The method is designed to control the manufacturing quality of optical systems by point image. A substantial part of the optical systems can use this method with- out additional equipment. It can help automate the controlled optical system ad- justment process. Keywords: Point Spread Function, Wavefront, Zernike Polynomials, Optimiza- tion, Aberrations. 1 Introduction At the stage of manufacturing optical systems, one of the most important tasks is quality of optical system elements assembly and alignment control. There are various methods for solving this problem, for example, interference methods. However, in some cases, one of which is the alignment of the telescope during its operation, other control methods are required [1, 2], for example control by point image (point spread function) or the image of another known object.

  • Wavefront Aberrations
    11 Wavefront Aberrations Mirko Resan, Miroslav Vukosavljević and Milorad Milivojević Eye Clinic, Military Medical Academy, Belgrade, Serbia 1. Introduction The eye is an optical system having several optical elements that focus light rays representing images onto the retina. Imperfections in the components and materials in the eye may cause light rays to deviate from the desired path. These deviations, referred to as optical or wavefront aberrations, result in blurred images and decreased visual performance (1). Wavefront aberrations are optical imperfections of the eye that prevent light from focusing perfectly on the retina, resulting in defects in the visual image. There are two kinds of aberrations: 1. Lower order aberrations (0, 1st and 2nd order) 2. Higher order aberrations (3rd, 4th, … order) Lower order aberrations are another way to describe refractive errors: myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, correctible with glasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery. Lower order aberrations is a term used in wavefront technology to describe second-order Zernike polynomials. Second-order Zernike terms represent the conventional aberrations defocus (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism). Lower order aberrations make up about 85 per cent of all aberrations in the eye. Higher order aberrations are optical imperfections which cannot be corrected by any reliable means of present technology. All eyes have at least some degree of higher order aberrations. These aberrations are now more recognized because technology has been developed to diagnose them properly. Wavefront aberrometer is actually used to diagnose and measure higher order aberrations. Higher order aberrations is a term used to describe Zernike aberrations above second-order. Third-order Zernike terms are coma and trefoil.

To do this we first wavefront aberrations of the human eye.

  • Zernike Polynomials
    ZernikePolynomialsForTheWeb.nb James C. Wyant, 2003 1 Zernike Polynomials 1 Introduction Often, to aid in the interpretation of optical test results it is convenient to express wavefront data in polynomial form. Zernike polynomials are often used for this purpose since they are made up of terms that are of the same form as the types of aberrations often observed in optical tests (Zernike, 1934). This is not to say that Zernike polynomials are the best polynomials for fitting test data. Sometimes Zernike polynomials give a poor representation of the wavefront data. For example, Zernikes have little value when air turbulence is present. Likewise, fabrication errors in the single point diamond turning process cannot be represented using a reasonable number of terms in the Zernike polynomial. In the testing of conical optical elements, additional terms must be added to Zernike polynomials to accurately represent alignment errors. The blind use of Zernike polynomials to represent test results can lead to disastrous results. Zernike polynomials are one of an infinite number of complete sets of polynomials in two variables, r and q, that are orthogonal in a continuous fashion over the interior of a unit circle. It is important to note that the Zernikes are orthogonal only in a continuous fashion over the interior of a unit circle, and in general they will not be orthogonal over a discrete set of data points within a unit circle. Zernike polynomials have three properties that distinguish them from other sets of orthogonal polynomials. First, they have simple rotational symmetry properties that lead to a polynomial product of the form r ρ g θ , where g[q] is a continuous function that repeats self every 2p radians and satisfies the requirement that rotating the coordinate system by an angle a does not change the form of the polynomial.

Cole, Research Assistant Department of Mechanical Engineering Introduction trap is created when the gradient forces are greater than the The processing of optical trapping is extremely useful in scattering forces. the biological sciences for manipulating microscopic particles The optical trapping system consists of a laser propagating and organisms using laser light. Imperfections in the elements through four lenses and into an inverted microscope in order comprising the optical trap cause deformations in the laser to trap a specimen on the stage. Here the beam partially beam, which decrease the effectiveness of the trap. The overfills the microscope objective. Moving from the laser to the wavefront distortion on the beam can be described by Zernike objective, the focal length of the lenses are: 500mm, (SLM, polynomials or disk harmonic functions.

  • Zernike Polynomials Are a Basis of Orthogonal Polynomials on the Unit Disk That Are a Natural Basis for Representing Smooth Functions
    Zernike polynomials are a basis of orthogonal polynomials on the unit disk that are a natural basis for representing smooth functions. They arise in a number of applications including optics and atmospheric sciences. In this paper, we provide a self-contained reference on Zernike polynomials, algorithms for evaluating them, and what appear to be new numerical schemes for quadrature and interpolation. We also introduce new properties of Zernike polynomials in higher dimensions. The quadrature rule and interpolation scheme use a tensor product of equispaced nodes in the angular direction and roots of certain Jacobi polynomials in the radial direction. An algorithm for finding the roots of these Jacobi polynomials is also described. The performance of the interpolation and quadrature schemes is illustrated through numerical experiments. Discussions of higher dimensional Zernike polynomials are included in appendices.
