    Abstract

    Based on the third-order aberration theory of two-mirror reflecting system, the influence of the geometrical aberrations on the performance of normal incidence telescopes was analyzed. The change trends of the angular size of the blur spot θ with the f-number and half-field angle uP were concluded. The angular blur spot θ increased with the increase of the half-field angle uP and the decrease of f-number, and the θ increased more sharply when the f-number was less than 10 or the half-field angle uP was more than 0.005. And, four kinds of typical reflecting systems were discussed in detail. Comparing the results, it is found that the angular blur spots in a Dall-Kirkham system and an inverse Dall-Kirkham system are at the same order of magnitude, which is almost ten times of a Cassegrain system′s. The θ of an R-C system is the smallest, which is one tenth of a Cassegrain system′s. It is useful to estimate the size of the aberration blur by the formulae without going to the trouble of making a raytrace analysis.
