Abstract

This letter describes a computational technique for optimal control problems arising in the synthesis of electron and ion lenses. The method provides an effective search algorithm for electrostatic and/or magnetic imaging fields with minimum aberrations. An optimized electrostatic field distribution is given as an example of application.
