Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for designing a freeform surface reflective imaging system, comprising: selecting an initial system, wherein an FOV of the initial system is X0×Y0; selecting an FOV sequence as [X0, Y0], [X1, Y1], [X2, Y2], . . . , [Xn, Yn], while the FOV of the system to be designed is Xn×Yn, and X0<X1<X2< . . . <Xn, Y0<Y1<Y2< . . . <Yn; using point-by-point methods to construct all freeform surfaces of the initial system in the FOV of X1×Y1; setting the system obtained in the last step as a second initial system for system construction in the FOV of X2×Y2; repeating the last step to execute system construction in the order of the FOV sequence until the final FOV Xn×Yn is obtained.
