ABSTRACT: To optimize the central zone parameters for minimizing the combined effects of astigmatism and primary spherical aberration, we employ a systematic approach involving numerical optimization techniques. We introduce a novel merit function that quantifies the extent of image degradation caused by defocus, astigmatism, and spherical aberration. This function serves as a comprehensive metric for evaluating system performance. Through an iterative optimization process, the central zone parameters are systematically adjusted to minimize the merit function, thereby enhancing image quality and correcting aberrations. The highest degree of the amplitude apodization parameter β leads to an enhancement in the lateral resolution of the central peak
