Abstract
The stereoscopic system of four large imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes operated by the H.E.S.S. collaboration in the Khomas Highland of Namibia is planned to be extended by a central very large telescope. The new telescope with its 30m type reflector, called H.E.S.S. II, is designed to provide a total mirror area of 600m² for the imaging of extensive air showers onto the Cherenkov camera consisting of 2048 photomultiplier tubes of about 0.07⁰ size. In order to guarantee for a stable and reliable imaging of excellent quality for the whole field of view of 3.2⁰ , intense technical studies as well as detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the optical system have been performed.
