Abstract
We present the Gaussian design of a two-conjugate zoom system, which does not require any mechanical compensation. The device works in two stages. First, with fixed optical power, a lens images the pupil aperture, forming a pair of conjugate planes. Then, we invert the conjugate planes for setting the two-conjugate condition. At the second stage, two varifocal lenses generate a tunable magnified virtual image, at the fixed object plane. The varifocal lenses have fixed interlens separation, and they work with zero-throw. We specify the optical powers of the composing elements and the equivalent optical power as functions of the variable magnification.
