Abstract
Three different topics concerning the Zernike polynomials are investigated. First, the Zernike expansion of a function only of the coordinate x is considered. Second, a set of functions orthogonal for an electromagnetic optical system of high aperture are developed. Third, the effect of Zernike aberrations on the three-dimensional optical transfer function (OTF) is described.
