    Afocal telescopes are often used as foreoptics to existing imaging systems. Here, we discuss some unique aspects of designing afocal systems and detail various afocal design studies we performed using freeform optics.

    We developed, tested, and applied a software tool that automatically generates high-accuracy CAD models of freeform elements with datums and fiducials, facilitating the efficient transition from freeform design to fabrication and measurement.

    We consider the requirements for first-order pupil location control using the matrix method for both finite-conjugate systems and afocal systems at infinite imaging conjugates. We show that two-element systems allow for only limited pupil location control, while with three elements or more the first-order pupil locations can be freely and independently controlled.

    Tolerancing is a critical step in creating successful commercial products. We explore recent advances in tolerancing illumination optics with particular emphasis on surface perturbations and extended sources.
