摘要

Due to the continuously increasing detection ability in astronomy, polarization aberrations are playing more and more important roles in the performances of astronomical telescopes. In this paper, polarization aberrations of an unobscured off-axis astronomical telescope, which is designed to detect weak gravitational lensing signal, are analyzed via polarization ray trace. The diattenuation map and retardance map of each mirror of the telescope are obtained, and both its Jones pupil and amplitude response matrix are shown. Because of polarization aberrations, the imaging contrast of the telescope is limited to be at a level of le-5, and the PSF spatial distribution of the telescope varies, too. Optics ellipticity of the telescope is analyzed. The variations of optics ellipticity, which are dependent of field of view (FOV), are induced by polarization aberrations. The maximum and mean variations of the optics ellipticity in all FOVs are 7.5e-3 and 2.7e-3, respectively. At the FOV [-0.0487°, 0.155°], the maximum ellipticity interpolation error increases from 1.2e-4 to 1.1e-3. According to the analyses shown in this paper, we can see that polarization aberrations in the telescopes which aim to detect weak gravitational lensing signal and demand ultrahigh imaging performance are not negligible. Hence, polarization aberrations should be involved to optimize these telescopes.
