Control of fifth-order aberrations in modular optical design

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Optical design modules may be used to initiate an optical design for which third-order spherical aberration and astigmatism are equal to zero. Equations have previously been available to make other third-order aberrations and primary color aberrations equal to zero also. Equations are here derived that may be used to make any of the fifth-order aberrations equal to zero as well. Details of the derivation are shown for fifth-order astigmatism, and results are given for the other fifth-order aberrations. Sample calculations demonstrate the use of the equations.
