Y, Ȳ Diagram Analysis of Two-Surface Optical Systems with Zero Third-Order Spherical Aberration

QC 351 A7 no. 55 / A y,Ȳ diagram analysis has been made of two -surface optical systems. The surfaces are spherical and are rotationally symmetric about the optical axis. When the systems are normalized and one of the conjugate planes is at infinity, unique relationships exist between the radii and separations of the optical systems and the y,Ȳ diagram parameters. The aberration coefficients are obtained in terms of the first-order constraints of the y,Ȳ diagram. The y,Ȳ diagram parameters of two-surface systems having zero third-order spherical aberration are represented by a one -parameter family of solutions. The pupil position may be obtained by eliminating zero third-order astigmatism. When the two two-surface systems are placed back to back, each system having zero third -order spherical aberration, a free parameter defines the relationship between the two systems.
