Strehl ratio formula #83

Hello FredVanGoor, I would like to know the origin of your Strehl ratio formula. In the definition I found on the Strehl ratio, it looks like: Capture Where function I[] stands for the maximum of fourier transform (= intensity at focus) and E(x, y), the spatial electric field in near-field. I have tested both on a dataset, and the values are (very) different. Can you clarify the conditions where the Strehl ratio formula you give can be applied? Thanks!
