Designing Corrector Optics
Abstract
Image-spot radii reduced by factors ranging from 5 to 25. Corrector Surface Design Software (CORFIG) calculates optimum figure of corrector surface for optical system based on real ray traces. Generates corrector figure in form of spline data-point table and/or list of polynomial coefficients. Number of spline data points as well as number of coefficients specified by user. Optimizes figure of corrector surface for on-axis images at single wavelength only. CORFIG also significantly improves quality of field images and images formed at wavelengths other than design wavelength. Written completely in VAX FORTRAN.
