The SMS, Simultaneous Multiple Surfaces, design was born to Nonimaging Optics applications and is now being
applied also to Imaging Optics. In this paper the wave aberration function of a selected SMS design is studied.
It has been found the SMS aberrations can be analyzed with a little set of parameters, sometimes two. The
connection of this model with the conventional aberration expansion is also presented. To verify these mathematical
model two SMS design systems were raytraced and the data were analyzed with a classical statistical
methods: the plot of discrepancies and the quadratic average error. Both the tests show very good agreement
with the model for our systems.
