The invention discloses a small spatial variation aberration optical design method, which comprises the following steps of: determining a
performance index and an initial structure parameter of an optical
system according to an imaging requirement of a target imaging
system; based on the initial structure parameters, calculating vertical height variances and horizontal width variances of
point spread functions under different view field sampling points, peak
signal-to-
noise ratios and
structural similarity indexes of view
field point sequence diagrams and center view
field point sequence diagrams, and peak
signal-to-
noise ratios and
structural similarity differences of the
point sequence diagrams caused by defocus; the performance of the optical
system under the defocusing condition is optimized; and calculating a comprehensive
evaluation function used for evaluating the spatial aberration change condition of the optical system, iteratively optimizing lens structure parameters through a least square method, and when iteration is finished, outputting a final optimized optical
system structure. According to the invention, by introducing the comprehensive
evaluation function for carrying out aberration evaluation on different view fields and out-of-focus distances, optimization design is carried out on the optical system, and the uniformity and the stability of the spatial aberration of the optical system are remarkably improved.
