Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The use of an astigmatic lens to generate a position error signal (PES) suitable for servo control is discussed. A simple computer model was written that can predict adequately the performance of an astigmatic system. The effect of various system parameters on the PES is presented.
