Application of genetic algorithm in the design of off-axis four-mirror optical system
As existing optical design software depends on the selection of an initial structure
a solving method of initial structure for four-mirror optical systems based on genetic algorithm was proposed to obtain the initial structure with good image quality and special structural configuration. The aberration of a coaxial four-mirror optical system was analyzed according to primary aberration theory. The objective function composed of primary aberration coefficient with weight and constraint conditions of structural configuration was established. Then
optimization solution was implemented for the objective function by introducing genetic algorithm and the coaxial four-mirror initial structure with good image quality and special structural configuration was obtained. Finally
an off-axis four-mirror optical system with a long focus of 1 200 mm
a large visual field of 20°×4° and a large relative aperture of F/4 was designed based on the initial structure. Structural configuration of the system is compact. Modulation transfer functions of all fields are more than 0.52 in the position of 50 lp/mm. As compared with traditional methods
the design method based on genetic algorithm does not need given initial conditions. It provides the initial structure with good image quality and special structural configuration for four-mirror optical systems and has extensive application prospects in reflective optical system design.
