Optical system defect propagation in ABCD systems

W.G. McKinley, H.T. Yura, Steen Grüner Hanson

Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

We describe how optical system defects (tilt/jitter, decenter, and despace) propagate through an arbitrary paraxial optical system that can be described by an ABCD ray transfer matrix. A pedagogical example is given that demonstrates the effect of alignment errors on a typical optical system.
