title: Exact solutions in the scalar diffraction theory of aberrations.
abstract: A simple exact method is presented for evaluating the circularly symmetric Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction integral in the presence of Seidel aberrations, all orders of spherical aberration, and all orders of linear coma. The resultant formulas involve a simple quadrature over a single special function of mathematics.
