ABSTRACT:
An optical system capable of correcting aberrations due to three-dimensional decentration by using a rotationally asymmetric surface having no plane of symmetry. The optical system includes, from the ray bundle entrance side, a first surface (3) serving as both a first transmitting surface and a second reflecting surface, a second surface (4) as a first reflecting surface, and a third surface (5) as a second transmitting surface. The space between these surfaces is filled with a medium having a refractive index larger than 1. The first surface (3) is a three-dimensional surface having no plane of symmetry.
