Battle of the Biconics: Comparison and Application of Various Anamorphic Optical Surfaces

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Biconic surfaces are regular conics in the two orthogonal profiles. Various representations and generalizations differ in how they smoothly blend the profiles together. After comparing several of these, they are applied to the design of an anamorphic Ritchey-Chretien telescope.
