Abstract
The expansion of the aberration function of lens systems in analytic form is considered. The results are used to obtain an expansion of the aberration function of a rotationally symmetric system, with either a circular or annular pupil, in a series of orthogonal polynomials. The significance of this for aberration balancing is discussed, and algorithms for obtaining such an expansion numerically are described.
