Optical Designs for a Solar Orbiter EUV ImagerAn EUV Imager is baselined as one of the remote sensing instruments onboard the Solar Orbiter mission now being planned by ESA. The performance goals for this instrument may be achieved by a specialized 'slitless spectrograph' design, which could offer EUV spectroscopic information as an added bonus. I will discuss my studies of such a design, tailored for the Solar Orbiter scientific objectives and scaled to the available payload envelope. Some of the trade-offs required in terms of sensitivity, field-of-view, and spatial resolution will be described, so that the science team can make optimized choices from the full range of possible optical-design solutions.
