Variable aberration generators using rotated Zernike plates.
The rotational properties of Zernike polynomials allow for an easy generation of variable amounts of aberration using two rotated phase plates, each one encoding one or several Zernike modes. This effect may be used to build variable aberration generators useful for calibrating different kinds of aberrometer.
