Construct freeform surface directly in an initial layout of an off-axis reflective image system by seed curve extension and simulated annealing algorithm

Abstract In this paper, a method of how to construct a freeform surface directly in an off-axis reflective image system is proposed. The method includes both the seed curve extension algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm. Firstly, the sample points on the unkown freeform surface were be obtain...
