Abstract

Computer-Aided Alignment (CAA) is an effective method for improving image quality of an optical system. This paper studies some key techniques of CAA for space telescope, including the mathematical model of CAA, the acquirement and processing of aberration data, the establishment of sensitivity matrix and the solution of misalignment. A numerical simulation of a space telescope has been performed to verify the ability and accuracy of the method.
