摘要
We report on the assembly of an off-axis reflective imaging system employing freeform, phi-polynomial optical surfaces. The sensitivity of the system to manufacturing errors is studied for both a passive and active alignment approach. The as-built system maintains diffraction-limited performance in the long-wave infrared. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America
