Abstract

An off-axial three-mirror system includes a primary mirror, a secondary mirror, a tertiary mirror, and an image sensor. The secondary mirror is located on a reflective optical path of the primary mirror. The tertiary mirror is located on a reflective optical path of the secondary mirror. The image sensor is located on a reflecting optical path of the tertiary mirror. The primary mirror and the tertiary mirror are formed as one piece. The surface type of both the primary mirror and the tertiary mirror is a freeform surface. The primary mirror is a convex mirror, and the tertiary mirror is a concave mirror.
