In this paper, the refraction of spherical wavefronts through a system of arbitrarily inclined planar surfaces is theoretically considered and general expressions for evaluation of aberrations developed, where the formulae developed are applied towards computing aberration caused individually by a single inclined plane parallel plate, single wedge prism, and two separated wedge plates.Abstract:
The refraction of spherical wavefronts through a system of arbitrarily inclined planar surfaces is theoretically considered and general expressions for evaluation of aberrations developed. The formulae developed are applied towards computing aberrations caused individually by a single inclined plane parallel plate, single wedge prism, and two separated wedge plates. The studies carried out are helpful in proper design of flat plates refraction system for either complete elimination of a particular aberration or their balancing for optimal performance or for compensation of residuals in a given optical system.read more

Formulas for the coma and astigmatism of wedge prisms used in converging light
TL;DR: In this paper, simple formulas are presented for third-order coma and astigmatism of a wedge prism used in converging light without introducing coma or astigmaticism, and these formulas are applied to the design of a well-corrected optical system.

The effect of the rotating double-prism wide-angle laser beam scanner on the beam shape
TL;DR: In this paper, a wide-angle laser beam scanner was described and the rigorous result of the wide angle laser beam scanning was obtained with the help of the vector refraction theory using the rigorous results, the distortion of the beam shape was discussed.

Design of two spherical mirror unobscured relay telescopes using nodal aberration theory.
TL;DR: Nodal aberration theory is used to calculate the third-order aberrations that result in image blur for an unobscured modified 4f relay formed by two tilted spherical mirrors for objects at infinity and near the front focal plane of the first mirror (finite conjugate).

TL;DR: In this article, a pair of equally and oppositely oriented flat transmittng plates can be used to neutralize either or both of these aberrations locally in the field to restore the image.

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized theoretical treatment of the refraction of spherical wavefronts through two separated stacks of plane parallel inclined layers with wedge substrates is presented, which enables computation of coordinates of an arbitrary point located on the ray in the final emergent medium.
