Study of Design Method of Minimizing Aberration Variation in Conjugate Change Imaging Optical System

The dissertation is a study result of minimizing aberration variation in conjugate change optical system. This study inherits the research results of conjugate change system in this hundred years and the footprints of these topics are collected in the introduction. To achieve the target of minimize the aberration variation in conjugate change system, the pupil spherical aberration plays a key role in this method. The studies about pupil spherical aberration relative to the conjugate change system are also collected and described in the introduction.
The theory is presented in the section followed the introduction. From the study result of T. Smith, H. H. Hopkins and C. G. Waynne, the theory is derived in Seidel aberration form. And I refer the results of three papers to derive an explicit result by mathematical method. For broadening the application of this theory, a wave aberration form is also derived. A result shown in wave aberration form is also wrote in the second section. The theory is transferred to a practical method as astigmatism and distortion controlled pupil spherical aberration minimization (ADC-PSAM) method in this section.
Two categories of the optical system are designed for verifying the theory in the third and fourth sections. The finite conjugate optical systems are the examples of endoscope design and the infinity conjugate optical system design is a zoom lens design example.
Two kinds of optical system are successfully to prove the ADC-PSAM is a practical method and the conclusion is in the fifth section of this dissertation and the future work is followed in sixth section.
