Abstract
The design of an optics system consisting of four cylindrical mirrors is described. Two symmetrically installed cylindrical mirrors reduce s pherical aberration. This set of cylindrical mirrors can focus vertica lly or horizontally. Astigmatism is also eliminated by using a second set of mirrors. The spot size of this optics system is estimated to be about 2 mu m.
