Nonrotationally symmetric aberrations of off-axis two-mirror astronomical telescopes induced by axial misalignments

Hongcai Ma, Changxiang Yan, Guohao Ju, Zhiyuan Gu
In unobscured off-axis astronomical telescopes with an offset pupil, the effects of axial misalignments are very different from those in on-axis ones. Specifically, a series of nonrotationally symmetric aberrations with characteristic field dependence will be induced by axial misalignments. This ...
