Abstract
A design method for an off-axis three-mirror anastigmatic optical system with low misalignment sensitivity is proposed. Based on the transformed pupil coordinate and nodal aberration theory, the analytical expressions between the optical parameters and misalignments are derived and an as-built performance evaluation model is established. The effects of mirror spacings and the off-axis magnitude value on the misalignment sensitivity are analyzed. With the desensitization design method proposed in this paper, a low-sensitivity off-axis TMA optical system can be designed. The simulation experiments show that, the misalignment sensitivity of the off-axis TMA optical system obtained by our method is approximately 60% that of the system obtained by nominal performance optimization method, and the as-built performance is about 1.49∼1.54 times that of the nominal performance optimization method.
