    Summary

    This study introduces a novel step-zoom telescope design. Digital postprocessing enables diffraction-limited performance across a wide f-number range, enhancing imaging capabilities.

    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Telescope Design
    • Digital Image Processing

    Background:

    • Achieving diffraction-limited performance in variable-aperture telescopes presents significant challenges.
    • Traditional zoom systems often compromise image quality due to optical aberrations.
    • The modulation transfer function (MTF) is critical for assessing image sharpness and resolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the design of a step-zoom telescope capable of diffraction-limited performance.
    • To investigate the use of digital postprocessing for MTF compensation in a zoom system.
    • To demonstrate the feasibility of a compact, high-performance variable-aperture telescope.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-mirror telescope design integrated with two lenses and a detector.
