Abstract
In this work, two off-axis reflective dual-channel zoom optical systems are conceived and designed. These two systems achieve good imaging quality and compact system volume by introducing freeform surfaces. Firstly, the system models of the off-axis reflective dual-channel zoom optical systems are introduced, and the first-order analysis is carried out. Then, a design method of an off-axis reflective dual-channel zoom freeform optical system is introduced, and two examples are designed using this method. In one example, the two channels have a separate primary mirror and share a secondary mirror and a third mirror. The system achieves a zoom ratio of 2 times. The two different channels of the other system have separate third mirror and share the primary mirror and the secondary mirror. The system achieves a zoom ratio of 4 times. The two systems have good imaging performance close to the diffraction limit in the visible light band. Finally, the proposed off-axis reflective dual-channel zoom freeform optical system is analyzed and discussed.
