Based on the design theory of reflective zoom system with three mirrors, this paper presents the simulation, optimiza- tion, and image quality evaluation of the traditional off- axis three-mirror zoom system and freeform off-axis three- mirror reflective zoom system.. In these systems, the optical design was aided by software CODEV. Through the analysis of aberrations and structural performance for the traditional aspherical off-axis three-mirror system, the freeform surface was introduced to the tertiary mirror to improve the balance capacity for optical aberrations. This off-axis three-mirror reflective zoom system based on freeform surface could provide technical reference to the study of such systems.展开更多

The initial configuration of the zoom system was obtained by applying the aberration equations under certain constraints. Then, a method was presented to correlate the aspheric coefficients with the aberrations of this system. By using this method, the required image quality could be achieved after optimiza- tion using the ZEMAX Optical Design Code. Besides good image quality, another benefits of using this system is the potential for using cheap optics.展开更多
