Aplanatic optical system containing two aspheric surfaces

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The design of an aplanatic optical system with two aspheric surfaces according to a method developed by Vaskas is treated in more detail. The shape of each aspheric surface is determined by a differential equation. It is shown that the ray trajectories through the optical surfaces, located between the two aspheres, are found by solving a system of N linear equations where N is the number of intermediate surfaces. An example of an aspherized aplanatic system is given.
