title: Vector polynomials orthogonal to the gradient of Zernike polynomials.
abstract: A set of vector polynomials is constructed, and it is shown that they are orthonormal to the gradient of the Zernike polynomials. Such a set can be used to obtain directly the Zernike decomposition of the wave front from the measurements involving the gradient of the wave front.
