根据初级像差理论,系统研究了由左手性介质构造的透镜系统的赛德尔像差特性.分析了左手性介质单折射曲面的赛德尔像差特性,发现其消初级球差的曲面类型比普通介质更为灵活且可用于实成像系统.依据薄透镜赛德尔和数公式,分析和设计了三种只有左手性介质才具备的可消部分赛德尔像差的薄透镜结构参数,提出了几种能同时消除全部五种赛德尔像差的由左手性介质构造的透镜组合系统.研究表明左手性介质相对于普通介质在消像差方面存在较大优势,在光学设计时可以采用更少的折射表面个数或更简单的表面形状即可到达同等的成像性能.

英文摘要：

A general study of the Seidel aberration of the lens systems made of left-handed media is presented according to the primary aberration theory. The Seidel aberration of the planar interface between air and left-handed medium was analyzed showing that its surface shape are more abundant when it is free from spherical aberration and it could be applied to real imaging systems. Based on the Seidel sum formulae of thin lens, three types of left-handed media thin lenses free from partial Seidel aberrations are designed with specific parameters. Finally, the Seidel aberration-free lens systems based on the use of left-handed media are presented. It is pointed out that left-handed media can be used to simplify the structure of lens system for the same or superior imaging performance.
