New formulas improve understanding of spherical aberration and coma in thin lens systems, suggesting better optical designs.
Novel formulas have been derived for the primary spherical aberration, coma and axial color of systems of thin lenses in contact. Even in complex optical systems, groups of lenses can be modelled as thin lenses in contact. The new mathematical formalism helps explaining significant qualitative properties of the lens design landscape.
