Off-Axis Alignment1-Part-2
Off-Axis Alignment1-Part-2
The Zernike coefficient is measured using a wavefront sensor at the field location (i). The more Zernike
coefficients such as 𝑍2−2 (oblique astigmatism), 𝑍22 (vertical astigmatism), 𝑍3−1 (vertical coma), 𝑍3−3 (vertical
trefoil), 𝑍31 (horizontal coma), etc. are considered for alignment, the more accurate alignment errors can be
calculated. Therefore, the final equation for calculating alignment errors using sensitivity table method is
ΔZ = AΔX, (2)
