A high performance design and optimization technique for three-mirror telescopes, based on the generation of rigorously aplanatic configurations, has been developed. The theory and five sample designs are presented. The work was done using an HP-System 35 desk-top computer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
