Schmidt–Cassegrain Telescope
Application ID: 70891
The Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope demonstrated in this tutorial is a classic design using an aspheric corrector lens and two spherical mirrors. The aspheric corrector is created using the 'Aspheric Even Lens 3D' part from the Ray Optics part library.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
