abstract = "Optical design of the wide field of view telescope is limited by obscuration of the secondary mirror in onaxis system and by serious linear astigmatism in conventional common off-Axis system. We have developed an innovative off-Axis reflective system in which the optical design is based on the confocal off-Axis to completely compensate the linear astigmatism. The main objective of this paper is to compare alignment sensitivity of the confocal system to those of on-Axis and common off-Axis systems. All three optical designs are based on the classical Cassegrain reflecting telescope and have identical entrance pupil diameter of 1000 mm and F/8 focal ratio. Tilt and decenter of each optical component, and despace which indicates inter-mirror distance are considered as tolerancing parameters that are explored within fabrication tolerance ranges. Encircled energy diameter is evaluated as a criterion of the analysis while tilts of the secondary mirror and the focal position are set to the compensator. The statistical tolerancing method based on Monte-Carlo simulation is also performed to analyze system tolerances. From sensitivity analysis and Monte-Carlo simulation, we concluded that the confocal off-Axis system is more sensitive than on-Axis and common off-Axis systems but it is a feasible system in terms of fabrication and alignment errors.",
