Focal Plane Optics

Focal Plane Optics is a subfield of telescope optics that encompasses the design, analysis, and optimization of optical components and systems situated at or near the focal plane, where light converges to form an image, to enhance image quality, field coverage, and instrumental performance in astronomical observations.
