The Structure of High Strehl Ratio Point‐Spread Functions

The Structure of High Strehl Ratio Point‐Spread Functions

We describe the symmetries present in the point-spread function (PSF) of an optical system either located in space or corrected by an adaptive optics (AO) system to Strehl ratios of about 70% and higher. We present a formalism for expanding the PSF to arbitrary order in terms of powers of …
