I believe that your reasoning is correct, indeed the [ 1/cos(phi) ] term
introduces an anamorphosis which is indeed easy to take into account.

In other words you are changing the shape of the effective pupil.

>From circular to elliptical or vice-versa [ "pupillary anamorphosis" ].

However I don't understand your Integrate[...], second equation.

AFAIAC no integration is involved of course, just a change of variable in
the
definition of the function MirrorShape.

After all ZP's can be applied to a "circularized" elliptical pupil.
