Abstract

The off-axis three-mirror optical system is derived from the classical Cooke triplet or a derivative of the inverse-telephoto lens. By properly arranging an internal reimaging mechanism or altering the location of the optical stop, one can create different versions of three-mirror optical systems. They include very compact configurations and wide field-of-view imagers. Insights into the optical design process, manufacturing, stray light management, and remote sensing applications are presented.
