ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for designing optical surfaces. According to this method, m optical surfaces are defined, such that each successive optical surface receives a wavefront from a previous optical surface. Wavefront aberrations caused by each optical surface are calculated. The changes at each respective optical surface required to compensate for the wavefront aberration caused by the respective optical surfaces are then calculated. A desired optical profile for each of the m optical surfaces is determined in accordance with the calculated changes to each respective optical surface.
