INTRODUCTION TO ABERRATIONS IN OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEMS

What are aberrations in optical imaging systems?
This book provides an introduction to the topic of aberrations in optical imaging systems. Aberrations are of interest because they often degrade the image quality in optical systems. To obtain sharp images the aberrations must be corrected, balanced, minimized, or avoided.
What is aberration theory?
Aberration Theory constitutes one of the core areas in classical optics, and has played a pivotal role in the analysis and synthesis of optical systems since the days of Newton.
Where did the primary aberrations come from?
The primary aberrations were theoretically established after the series of papers “Theory of Systems of Rays” by W. R. Hamilton that appeared in the Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy . The summary of Hamilton’s research of 1833 refers to the function T T (0) (2) + + + + 2)2.
What are shack-Thompson aberration fields?
The topic of aberrations of non-axially symmetric systems is becoming increasingly more important in view of gradual emergence of such optical systems in practice; the concept of Shack-Thompson aberration fields facilitates understanding of aberrational characteristics of these systems.
