“…While this is a desirable condition for some optical systems, the routines currently included in SLIDERS set the magnifications equal to provide nonanamorphic imaging. Currently two and three mirror conic systems are included in SLIDERS, which are based on the works by Stone and Forbes [16], and Howard and Stone [17], respectively. Figure 7 illustrates an example of a projection system taken from [17].…”

Optical design tools are presented to provide automatic generation of reflective optical systems for educational use. The tools are graphical in nature and use an interactive slider interface with freely available optical design software. Operation of the sliders provides input to adjust first-order and other system parameters (e.g. focal length), while appropriate system construction parameters are automatically updated to correct aberrations. Graphical output is also presented in real-time (e.g. a lens drawing) to provide the opportunity for a truly visual approach to optical design. Available systems include two-and three-mirror telescopes, relays, and afocal systems, either rotationally symmetric or having just a plane of symmetry. Demonstrations are presented.
