Abstract

The theorem gives the change in optical path aberration for infinitesimal rotations about any axes in object and image space of a chosen pencil in an optical system of no symmetry. It is applicable to any system governed by Fermat's principle, including holographic systems. It includes as special cases less general results such as T. Smith's optical cosine law and Conrady's formula for offense against the sine condition.
