We use a known optic, a catalog off-axis parabola, as a reference to both model in Zemax and to align while tracking the position of the focus in 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) and the tilt of the auto-reflecting flat in 2 DOF to demonstrate a systematic approach to alignment. The aberrations present at each step of the experimental procedure are monitored using an autostigmatic microscope. © 2023 SPIE. All rights reserved.Note
