Calculation of third-order misalignment aberrations with the Optical Plate diagram

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Optical Plate Diagram of C. R. Burch has been generalized to allow the calculation of third-order perturbation aberrations for nominally axially symmetrical optical systems. The plate method has the advantage of simplifying the third-order analysis of optical systems by removing the first-order considerations that complicate traditional approaches. This development is shown to be directly analogous to the original derivation of Shack and Thompson.
