Abstract

The case for two aspheric plates is further investigated to include ray trace evaluation of various solutions, removing the possible two solution regions noted in Part 1 [ Meinel and Meinel, Appl. Opt. 20, 3627 ( 1981)]. The study is extended to include one reflection plus one transmission aspheric and two reflection aspherics.
