Abstract
A reflecting telescope arrangement is proposed in which the focal distance of the objective system is greatly enhanced without increasing the overall length of the structure. The underlying idea is to use a multiply folded optical path. This setup may be viewed as a partially periodic optical system. For small departures of the mirror confocality, analytic results in the paraxial approximation are obtained.
