Abstract

In recent years, the need for wide-angle, unobscured, all-reflecting optical designs has increased significantly. This paper takes a look at several of these types of designs, and compares their performance and limitations. Each example have constant f-numbers and entrance pupil diameter, but the wide-angle strip fields-of-view are varied. This work provides the optical designer with a measure of the optical design complexity required for his specifications.
