Zernike PolynomialOrthogonal Polynomials which arise in the expansion of a wavefront function for optical systems withcircular pupils. The Odd and Even Zernike polynomials are given by
 | (1) |
with radial function | | | (2) | for and integers with and Even. Otherwise,
 | (3) |
Here, is the azimuthal angle with and is the radial distance with (Prata and Rusch 1989). The radial functions satisfy the orthogonality relation
 | (4) |
where is the Kronecker Delta,and are related to the Bessel Function of the First Kind by

(Born and Wolf 1989, p. 466). The radial Zernike polynomials have the Generating Function

and are normalized so that

(Born and Wolf 1989, p. 465). The first few Nonzero radial polynomials are
(Born and Wolf 1989, p. 465).
The Zernike polynomial is a special case of the Jacobi Polynomial with

and
The Zernike polynomials also satisfy the Recurrence Relations(Prata and Rusch 1989). The coefficients and in the expansion of an arbitrary radial function in terms of Zernike polynomials

are given by

where

Let a ``primary'' aberration be given by
 | (19) |
with and where is the Complex Conjugate of , and define
 | (20) |
giving
 | (21) |
Then the types of primary aberrations are given in the following table (Born and Wolf 1989, p. 470).Aberration |  |  |  |  |  | spherical aberration  | 0 | 4 | 0 |  |  | coma  | 0 | 3 | 1 |  |  | astigmatism  | 0 | 2 | 2 |  |  | field curvature  | 1 | 2 | 0 |  |  | distortion  | 1 | 1 | 1 |  |  |
