Abstract
The Zernike aberration theory for constant amplitude circular apertures is extended to annular apertures having a Gaussian-like radial taper. Explicit expressions are obtained for the optimum balanced wave-front aberrations in terms of shifted Jacobi polynomials. Properties of the polynomials (e.g., Rodrigues formula, recurrence relations, derivatives, etc.) are investigated.
