How to simulate different aberrations in optical system?

Hi all,

I am curious how to simulate different aberrations in optical system, like if I add one wave of defocus, how does the image simulation look like? And how the PSF look like? Furthurmore, if I combine one wave of defocus and a negative one wave of spherical aberration, how does the system look like?

Does anyone have some insights about it?

Best.

Try playing with the Irregular surface and one of the Zernike surfaces. You should be able to simulate all third-order aberrations easily with those.
