Design of Relay Lens Based on Zero Seidel Aberrations

摘要

Seidel aberration has been used successfully in finding starting points for a lens system, especially in designing a relay lens, which may have the symmetric condition with aperture stop, and the benefit of zero Seidel aberrations of com, distortion, and transverse chromatic aberration. In this paper, a relay lens has been designed based on the principle of zero Seidel aberrations. The MTF of the design is near diffraction limited, which has an excellent image performance of high resolution.
