With the dramatic increase in applications associated with aberrations, it is im-portant to h
15、ave uniform methods for reporting data so that it is understandable acrossapplications.ANSI Z80.28-2017 was adapted by a group of experts within the ANSI Instrumentsand Low Vision Devices Subcommittee under the chair of William L. Brown, O.D.,Ph.D. It is a performance standard.The major change made
16、in this edition of the standard is a clarification of 5.2 that 1)changes the term “wavefront gradient fields“ to “wavefront ray deflection“, and 2)places the emphasis of the clause on describing the direction of propagation of raysthat are the normals to the wavefront error surface being measured.Su

35、2.2 Radial parameter The radial parameter is a dimensionless number that takes values between 0 and 1.

44、e wavefront error of an eye is the optical path-length (i.e., physical distance times refractive index) between a plane wavefront in the eyes entrance pupil and the wavefront of light exiting the eye from a point source on the retina. It is specified as a function (wavefront error function) of the (
45、x,y) or (r,) coordinates of the entrance pupil. Wavefront error is measured in an axial direction (i.e., parallel to the z-axis defined in clause 4) from the pupil plane towards the wavefront. By convention, the wavefront error is set to zero at the pupil center by subtracting the central value from
46、 values at all other pupil locations. Wavefront error has physical units of meters (typically reported in micrometers) and pertains to a specified wavelength. 3.5 Optical path-length difference OPD The optical path-length difference at each point in a wavefront is the negative of the wavefront error
47、 (3.4). It represents the correction of the optical path length needed to correct the wavefront error. 3.6 Root mean square wavefront error (RMS error) The root mean square wavefront error for the eye is computed as the square root of the variance of the wavefront error function (3.4). Piston and av
48、erage tilt should be excluded from this calculation because they correspond to lateral displacements of the image rather than image degradation per se. RMS wavefront error is defined as: AdxdyyxWRMSpupilWFE2),(where A is the area of the pupil. If the wavefront error function is expressed in terms of
49、 normalized Zernike coefficients, the RMS error is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the coefficients with radial indices 2 or greater. mallnmnWFEcRMS,12)( NOTE: The RMS error may also be found using the discrete set of wavefront error values that were used to generate the Zernike coefficients and standard statistical methods. When this is done, it may be found that this RMS value does not exactly m
