Separating Astigmatic Mirror Figure Error from Alignment Induced Misalignment Aberrations using Nodal Aberration Theory

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Nodal aberration theory (NAT) has revealed that misalignment astigmatism displays a different signature field dependence than signature nodal positions caused by astigmatic mirror figure error. These differences will be derived and demonstrated for astronomical telescopes.
