Abstract

A wave-front coded imaging system is an optical-digital method for aberration control. Wave-front coding technology incorporates an aspheric element in the optical system in order to capture a coded image and by digital processing decode it to obtain the final image. The WFC system is very insensitive to defocus-like aberrations and thereby becomes a tool in the aberration balancing for telescope systems. We propose WFC technology to be implemented in a two spherical mirror telescope. In this work we present the design and simulation of the proposed telescope, trade-offs encountered in the design process and aspects of the image restoration.
