Assignment 10

  1. Enter the lens description in Smith page 518 into OSLO and then use OSLO for the following tasks:

    1. Calculate the Seidel ray aberrations (image and chromatic).
    2. Calculate wavefront aberrations: Evaluate - Other Aberrations - Seidel Wavefront
    3. Plot the full-field spot diagram. Use Evaluate - Spot Diagram - Single Spot Diagram and set the fractional object y-height to 1.
    4. Plot a general spot diagram analysis. Shift the system focus -0.2 mm (insert value at image surface th). Then plot the spot diagrams for maximum focal shift of 0.1 mm. Use Evaluate - Spot Diagram - Report Graphic

  2. For the above lens

    1. Calculate e0 and explain its relationship to the diffraction spot size given by OLSO.
    2. Calculate the wavefront aberrations using Excel and/or Matlab.
    3. Show how the Seidel ray aberrations are related to the wavefront aberrations.

  3. Do problems 5 and 7 from section 6.
