Pupil aberration coefficients in plane-symmetric optical systems
As optical systems are expected to meet increasingly strict demands, controlling pupil aberrations is increasingly important in optical design. Building on prior work on image aberration theory and leveraging the connection between pupil and image aberrations, we derive analytical expressions for 50 intrinsic pupil aberration coefficients for plane-symmetric systems, supported by both algebraic and numerical validation.
