Abstract
An off-axis integral floating system using a concave mirror is analyzed to resolve the
image distortion incurred by the off-axis optical arrangement. The concave mirror can be adopted as
the floating device to improve the optical efficiency. The image distortion due to the tilting axis
of the concave mirror needs to be analyzed precisely to generate the pre-distortion image. In this
paper, we calculate the image deformation in the off-axis structure of the concave mirror using the
geometrical optics. Using the calculation results, the compensated elemental image can be generated
for the pre-distortion integrated image, which can be projected to the floating 3D image without
image distortion. The basic experiments of the off-axis integral floating are presented to prove and
verify the proposal.
