TWO-SURFACE OPTICAL SYSTEMS WITH ZERO THIRD-ORDER SPHERICAL ABERRATION

QC 351 A7 no. 37 / This paper derives four one-parameter families of two-surface
optical systems having the property that, relative to a well-defined
pair of conjugate points, one finite and the other infinite, third-order spherical aberration is zero. The two surfaces can be either
refracting or reflecting. Aperture planes are defined for which
third-order astigmatism is zero. An expression for coma is also derived. Assuming that the systems will be constructible, a means of
defining domains for the free parameter is indicated. Possible applications of these results to optical design are included.
