Nodal Aberration Theory
Shift of the nodal points by tilting a surface
Ref: Y. Zhong
13
Vectorial Aberration Contributions
Idea of nodal points:
image points of the tilted component axes
Every component has its individual axis, the aberrations are symmetric around this axis
(circular symmetric sub-system)
The axis are bended towards the image plane
Every circular symmetric component therefore has an individual aberration center sj in
the image plane
The interaction and overlay of the various centers are complicated y

Wave aberration
Shift vector sj of symmetry center for every surface j:
aberration field center for surface j
Effective field height relativ to center j
Special case of coma:
- split of wave aberration into
1. field dependent term
2. field independent term
contribution
Relevant:
- distance of surface from pupil
- height y-bar of chief ray at the surface

First generalization:
- geometry non-centered
- every surface is a circular symmetric subsystem
- every surface creates aberrations in the final image plane with strength Wklm (coefficient)
- the surface contributions are additive with vectorial character
- every surface has ist individual center point in the image plane
- every field point H in the image plane has an effective height Hho relative
to the surface j
- the contribution of surface j is given by the vector
here the coefficient Wklm is not influences by the centering
- the total aberration in the image is given by the sum
- coefficient aklm: normalized on value of centered system
Second generalization:
- also surfaces not circular symmetric
- use for freeform systems

Basic concept:
- shifted aberration field centers
- valid for circular symmetric surfaces in general geometry
- every surface has an individual centre of symmetry
- vector summation of individual surface aberration fields
- separation in spherical and aspherical contributions
- multi nodal aberrations in case of decentering
Lack of symmetry:
- individual chief ray height at the surfaces
- field dependence of aberrations fields
Surface in pupil plane: field invariant aberrations
surfaces with distance to pupil: field dependent aberration contribution
Recently extended to freeform surfaces

Arbitrary variation of performance over the field of view
- one aberration value is not feasible to describe the distribution over the bundle cross section
- uniformity of aberration variation is important property
- single numbers should be defined to summarize the performance by moments, rms,...
- additional uniformity parameters are necessary to be defined in the merit function
Nodal aberration theory
- vectorial approach on aberration theory describes more general geometries without
symmetry
- nodal points are locations with corrected aberrations in the field

Total quality measures, selection depends on application
Circular symmetric systems:
clear definition of optical axis, paraxial range as reference
1. classical primary aberrations, large experience, easy to interpret
2. geometrical representations like transverse or wave aberrations,
fast to calculate, diffraction excluded
3. physical criteria like point spread function (PSF), modulation transfer function (MTF)
General systems with reduced or no symmetry:
1. 3D geometry, freeform surfaces
2. no clear paraxial reference
3. Important: field dependence
Possible general options:
1. geometrical spot diagrams
2. wave aberrations, Zernike representation
3. PSF and MTF
4. Aberration theory of 6th order incorporates field dependence
31
Total Performance Criteria
Sensitivity of surfaces, important for tolerancing,
1. surface contributions, correctability and distribution, induced aberrations
2. structural aberration coefficients (analytic) give relation to system data
Circular symmetric systems:
1. Seidel aberrations in 3rd order (4th order wave aberrations)
2. General aberration theory in 6th order after Shack/Thompson
3. Aldis theorem, but only for one ray
General systems with reduced or no symmetry:
only pure experience on number and location of freeform surfaces as well as complexity and
necessary deviation from circular symmetry
1. 6th order aberration theory for circular symmetric components
2. Wave aberration contribution according to Hopkins / Welford
3. Field dependend Zernike coeffcients
New approaches necessary:
1. Generalization of Aldis theorem
2. Zernike surface contributions
32
Analysis and Sensitivity
Aberration expansion: perturbation theory
Linear independent contributions only in lowest correction order:
Surface contributions of Seidel additive
Higher order aberrations (5th order,...): nonlinear superposition
- 3rd oder generates different ray heights and angles at next surfaces
- induces aberration of 5th order
- together with intrinsic surface contribution: complete error
Separation of intrinsic and induced aberrations: refraction at every surface in the system

Mathematical formulation:

2. transfer into exit pupil

3. complete/total aberration
4. subtraction total/intrinsic:
induced aberrations
Interpretation:
Induced aberration is generated by pupil distortion together with incoming perturbed
3rd order aberration
Similar effects obtained for higher orders
Usually induced aberrations are larger than intrinsic one

In 3rd order as first perturbation contributions the total system aberration is independent from
the direction
In higher order due to induced aberrations, this reversability is not fulfilled
Important:
1. the light direction can be inverted
2. the coordinate grids and the reference is changing with direction

Example: chromatical aberration for 2x 4f imaging with high/low dispersing lenses
Consequence:
- for systems with large distance of compensating lens groups: system has to be evaluated in
correct order
- for critical systems not the same performance i both directions

Relation between wave and transverse aberration:
derivative of the wave front according to the pupil coordinates
scaled with radius of reference sphere and index
Approximation for small aberrations and small aperture angles u
A corresponding relation exists between Aldis transverse ray aberration contributions
and Welfords wave aberration contribution
The changing magnification due to the rear system surfaces must be taken into account

Approach of Hopkins / Welford:
At any surface the wavefront can be compared with the ideal one before and after the
refraction/reflection
Due to the additivity of the phase, at any surface the contribution can be calculated
Practical problems:
- collimated intermediate ray paths
- change of normalization radii and grid distortion
- choice of reference surface not trivial
- parabasal ray calculation inaccurate

special case of linear scaling

case of distortion-free grid projection
For systems with neglectable induced aberrations the bundle diameter scales linear and the
Zernike expansion coefficients are also additive on a normalized bundle radius
If the system suffers from large induced aberrations, the ray grid is distorted and rescaled,
in this case the Zernike coefficients are not exactly additive.
It is also well known, that the Zernikes are changing during propagation
Therefore distance related induced Zernike contributions can be defined in addition

Polarization
If polarization effects have influence on the performance of a system, the pure
geometrical aberration model is no longer sufficient
The main reasons for polarization effects in optical systems are
1.Coatings
2.stress induced birefringence
3. intrinsic birefringend in crystaline materials
4.mixing of field component in high-NA systems without x-y-decoupling

Polarization
The understanding of the intensity distribution of the point spread function and
image formation needs the consideration of the physical field E
In the most general case, in the exit pupil we have a field with 3 orthogonal components,
that can not interfere
In the coherent case, the intensity
in the image plane is the sum of
the 3 intensity contributions
In the case of small numerical
apertures, only 2 transverse field
components must be considered
To determine polarization effects
in the image, first the propagation
of the polarization through the
system must be calculated

Time is Over
Understanding optical systems is only possible with aberration theory
Correction of systems is efficient with detailed analysis of aberrations and
the methods to prevent or compensate them after a proper classification
Especially the decomposition of the total aberrations into the surface contributions helps
for analyzing and improving systems
Allows qualified performance assessment
But:
1. the classical aberration theory is restricted to the geometrical picture
2. the classical aberrations theory mostly assumes circular symmetry
3. complete general geometries are complicate to implement,
the single numbers becomes matrices and are hard to interprete
4. the digital image processing approaches of today reduce the necessity of perfectly
corrected analogue systems
4. the application to real human image perception is still complicated
