摘　　要：In this Letter, we propose a novel configuration and design method of freeform, dual fields-of-view （FOVs）, dual focal lengths, off-axis three-mirror zoom imaging systems. The switch of the two zooms is achieved by rotating a single mirror element. The design of a freeform, dual focal lengths zoom system is realized by a point-by-point design approach for the first time to our knowledge. This method enables the direct design of freeform surfaces from initial planes using given system specifications and configuration, and the designed system can be taken as a good starting point for further optimization. A freeform, dual FOVs, dual focal lengths, off-axis three-mirror zoom system is demonstrated. The F-numbers of the two zooms are 2 and 2.4. The dual FOVs are 3° × 3° and 2.5° × 2.5°. After final o^timization, both of the zooms achieve high performances.In this Letter, we propose a novel configuration and design method of freeform, dual fields-of-view （FOVs）, dual focal lengths, off-axis three-mirror zoom imaging systems.
