Abstract:Wavefront aberration is an essential factor that significantly affects the image quality of an optical system. We proposed a comprehensive method to determine the wavefront aberration of a deformed optical component caused by clamping forces. First, the displacement of the elements on the optical component, induced by external forces, is calculated using ANSYS software. Then, the deformation surface is fitted with an aspherical surface to obtain Zernike coefficients. Finally, the wavefront aberration is obtain… Show more
