Optical analysis of spherical mirrors of telescopes: the lens-less Schmidt case
Abstract
The light distribution on the focal surface of spheric mirrors designed for telescopes in the lens-less Schmidt configuration is calculated analytically using geometrical optics. This analysis was motivated by considerations of the design the design of the AUGER fluorescence detector. Its geometrical parameters are used in the examples.
