Design of Free-Form Surface Optic in Wide Field of View Off-Axis Optical System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Design of off-axis system is a hot and difficult topic in optical design area. The wide field of view(WFOV) off-axis system this paper involved always have the drawbacks of complicated large size and great weight. This paper introduces an application of free-form surface(FFS) in WFOV off-axis optical system design, analyzes FFS optics’ material and fabrication methods. The system uses one FFS lens and one doublet, image quality meets the design specification, and characterizes by simple structure and lightweight.
