In a recent paper [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 21, 832 (2004)], aberration functions that are a complete, orthogonal, and normalized set over a weighted spherical pupil were developed. The results apply to electromagnetic, aplanatic, or paraboloidal mirror systems. An equation in this paper is corrected. Further work has led to a general aberration function that is also presented.
