Abstract

The paper contains an analysis of the higher order aberrations for point-sources of the wavefronts taking part in holographic imaging. The formulae for higher order aberrations are given together with the vanishing conditions for the latters. A simple method allowing to accelerate the convergence of the aberrational expressions within classical binomial expansion as well as enabling to determine the complete aberrations outside this expansions is presented.
