Rotating Prism Compensators, Part I: Theory

Doc Type: Journal Article
Article Type: research-article
Abstract: This first part of a two-part article on the design and analysis of rotating prism compensators is theoretical and provides an overview on the nature of the image in simple compensators while explaining the principles upon which complex designs are based. Some new schemes, consistent with available optical materials and engineering techniques, are developed that offer significantly improved image quality. (The second part, in preparation by the authors, addresses the specification and computer analysis of optical design, with particular emphasis on predicting the effective modulation transfer function in a high-speed rotating prism camera. A new wide-angle lens, based on theoretical considerations, was designed for a conventional 70mm camera. Measurements with the finished lens are compared with prediction and existing lenses. The computer performance of a new compensation scheme is compared with a conventional rotating prism compensator.)
