Pamplemousse: The optical design, fabrication, and assembly of a three-mirror freeform imaging telescope

Abstract

Since the last IODC meeting, the field of optical design with freeform surfaces has burst onto the scene. This talk will present a first of its kind, all reflective, unobscured, three-mirror 10° full field of view, F/1.9 operational freeform imaging telescope from design to full assembly.
