CH01(part2) 1.6 Aberration Coefficients 光学检测教学课件.pptVIP

1.8 Peak to Valley and RMS Wavefront Aberration Peak to Valley (PV) is simply the maximum departure of the actual wavefront from the desired wavefront in both positive and negative directions. While using PV to specify the wavefront error is convenient and simple, but it can be misleading. It tells nothing about the whole area over which the error are occurring. An optical system having a large PV error may actually perform better than a system having a small PV. It is more meaningful to specify wavefront quality using the RMS wavefront error. RMS: “Root Mean Squares”, ?2=RMS2 PV=Wmax-Wmin If
