Resolving capacity of the circular Zernike polynomials

Optics Express, 2015
Circular Zernike polynomials are often used for approximation and analysis of optical surfaces. In this paper, we analyse their lateral resolving capacity, illustrating the effects of a lack of approximation by a finite set of polynomials and answering the following questions: What is the minimum number of polynomials that is necessary to describe a ...

Effect of Surface Error Distribution and Aberration on Electromagnetic Performance of a Reflector Antenna

International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, 2019
In this paper, a method based on the Zernike distribution and the optical aberration is proposed to investigate the effects of the distribution characteristics of surface distortions of a reflector antenna on its electromagnetic performance (EMP).

Image Description using Radial Associated Laguerre Moments

Journal of ICT Research and Applications, 2015
This study proposes a new set of moment functions for describing gray-level and color images based on the associated Laguerre polynomials, which are orthogonal over the whole right-half plane.

A Closed-Form Analytical Conversion between Zernike and Gatinel–Malet Basis Polynomials to Present Relevant Aberrations in Ophthalmology and Refractive Surgery

Photonics
The Zernike representation of wavefronts interlinks low- and high-order aberrations, which may result in imprecise clinical estimates. Recently, the Gatinel–Malet wavefront representation has been introduced to resolve this problem by deriving a new ...

WFST Astrometric Calibration. I. Modeling Global Geometric Distortion with Zernike Polynomials

The Astronomical Journal
Accurate modeling of geometric distortion (GD) is essential for precise astrometric calibration in wide-field imaging surveys. We present a self-calibration method based on Zernike polynomials, applied to imaging data from the Wide Field Survey Telescope

Quantum aberrations: Entangling photons with Zernike polynomials

Physical Review A
We introduce Zernike polynomials as a novel degree of freedom for encoding quantum information in the spatial structure of photons. Building on their orthogonality and completeness over the unit disk, we develop a framework for generating, manipulating, and detecting photons in Zernike modes, and propose methods for realizing single-photon and two ...
