Zusammenfassung: | The present paper introduces a set of equations to design an aplanatic catadioptric freeform optical system. These equations form a partial differential equation system, in which a numerical solution defines the first and last surfaces of the catadioptric freeform optical system, composed of an arbitrary number of reflective/refractive surfaces with arbitrary shapes and orientations. The solution of the equation can serve as an initial setup of a more complex design that can be optimized. An illustrative example is presented to show the methodology introduced in this paper. |
