Abstract

Three phases of a stray light analysis are delineated which are typical of the stages that can be used to evaluate and significantly improve the stray light performance of a sensor. The application is described of the three-phase analysis to the stray light analysis of the Cassini Narrow Field of View and Wide Field of View telescopes which will be sent to Saturn. The resulting telescope redesign analyses are described.
