Abstract
LiteBIRD is a JAXA-led international project aimed to make high sensitivity measurements of the primordial B-modes through cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization observations. LiteBIRD is expected to launch in the late 2020s. The Low Frequency Telescope (LFT) has a 400 mm diameter aperture and will observe at 34-161 GHz. The LFT is an optimized crossed Dragone reflective telescope with high order correction terms in the reflector shapes to maximize its diffraction-limited throughput across a 18° x 9° FOV. We will report on the development of the LFT optics design and assess the optical tolerances for potential misalignments and reflector deformations.
