Abstract
Three Mirror Anastigamat (TMA) systems including both on-axis and off-axis configurations have been widely used in space applications. In some designs, to correct for high order aberrations and realize large FOV, freeform surfaces are used to provide more design freedoms. This trend brings challenges to optical manufacturing and testing community. Since testing is critical to make high accurate aspheres and freeform surfaces, the paper addressed Computer Generated Hologram (CGH) design and implement to measure large freeform mirrors. In particular, CGH assisted alignment procedure for TMA telescopes were discussed in detail.
