V. Lakshminarayanan et S. Varadharajan, Expression for aberration coefficients using nonlinear transforms - Extension to spherocylindrical surfaces, OPT VIS SCI, 77(3), 2000, pp. 156-162
Previously we have used a matrix method to do nonlinear calculations and pr
esented exact expressions for the third and fifth order aberration coeffici
ents for a general conic surface as functions of the latus rectum and eccen
tricity. In this paper we show how the method can be extended to include th
e case of a general spherocylindrical surface.
