 Hi everyone,

Do you have an idea on why the sagittal and tangential MTF values are far by this much as shown below?

Some details about the System: Off-axis mirror set, curved mirrors involved.

Red arrow: sagittal
Yellow arrow: tangential

Looking forward

Hi, it might be related to the coma or astigmatism introduced. These two could cause a large separation between tangential and sagittal performance.  As you mentioned, you have an off-axis mirror, this could introduce certain coma and astigmatism.
