Abstract
An exact expression is derived for the Strehl ratio as a function of the mi nimum root-mean-square aberration value that may produce it. The result is applicable to any aperture and is shown to imply a similar expression for t he Strehl ratio as a function of the minimum amplitude range of the aberrat ion.
