Abstract

Exact aplanatic solutions of telescopic catadioptric optical system and singlet lens are presented. Details of how solutions are derived are discussed. Numerical verification carried out through geometrical optics and ray tracing simulations on specific optics geometries confirms the validity of solutions.
