The main difference is a significant expansion of the linear field, which reaches 50 mm in the image plane. However, in this case, a planapochromatic correction must be achieved for the usual visible spectral range. Such a parameter of objectives, like over large working distances - is an additional advantage.

We have developed a new method other than traditional technique based on ray tracing and optimization algorithm to design arbitrary aspherics. Analytic definition of the aspheric surfaces is done away with and numerical solution of nonlinear difference equations called Aspheric Intrinsic Equations (AIE) is implemented instead. Simulation results compared with traditional opticaldesign software are presented, which prove that this new method is more effective and reliable in designing aspheric surfaces.

Over the past twenty years numerous papers and patents have reported on the design of infrared zoom lenses for a variety of civilian and military applications. The vast majority of these lenses have been afocal 8-12 mu m zoom lenses with magnification ratios of five to twenty. With the advancement of 3-5 mu m staring focal plane array technology a growing demand has emerged for a compact imaging 3-5 mu m zoom lens. To meet this demand a variety of such zoom lenses have been designed which support image formats of over 10 mm diagonal. In this paper the preliminary design of a high magnification 3-5 mu m zoom lens is described. Infrared system modeling, detailed lens performance and manufacturing issues are reviewed.

Cryogenic optical systems are often mounted in vacuum cryostat. An interesting concern in the mechanical design is how to maintain the stability of the line of sight (LOS) of the cryogenic optical system when it is cooled down to very low temperature. To investigate this problem an experimental cryogenic optical system, its mounting structure, and a cryostat were designed and fabricated. After assembling them together, a test experiment for measuring the LOS drift was carried out. Finally, the test results will be presented in this paper.

Studies on adaptive lenses, which are formed of two transparent elastic surfaces and have a transparent liquid medium between them, have focused mostly on the characterization, analysis and optical performance of the proposed lenses. No attention, however, has been given to the mechanical design that would allow the conception of a user-friendly functional mounting that is adaptable to conventional optical systems. This work, therefore, presents the design and manufacturing processes of the mounting for a 20 mm diameter biconvex adaptive lens. It also presents an analysis of the membranes used as elastic surfaces and the images formation of the proposed lens.

We present a purely mechanical means of producing highly concentric spherical lenses at the endfaces of optical fibers. The production process has two stages. First, conical lenses are produced in a grinding process that ensures excellent concentricity. Then, the conical lenses are transformed to spherical lenses using a novel process called loose abrasive blasting. The cone grinding is carried out on a microgrinding machine, which has a sophisticated control system that enables the production of precision conical lenses. The blasting is carried out on a diamond blasting machine. Plots showing automatic centering performance of the microgrinding machine and scanning electron microscopy images of the conical and spherical lenses are presented.

Modern CCD cameras that are typically produced in high volume for consumer and machine vision applications can be used as precisely calibrated image sensors. New CCD chips with on-chip micro lens arrays, however, have some characteristics that limit design choices where precise illumination uniformity is required The micro lenses cause vignetting and limit the angular aperture of each pixel. This paper measures vignetting and consequent shading for a typical micro lensed CCD chip. Nevertheless, when properly designed, camera systems employing these advanced CCD chips can be precisely calibrated with respect to face plate irradiance.

This paper presents the results given by the nominal design and tolerance analysis of a narrow-field-of-view camera lens equipped with a rotating prism scanning system. The first aspects taken into consideration have been the compensation of the chromatic aberration, distortion reduction, and the correlation between depth-of-field and lens resolution. Then, a rigorous approach to determine the relationship between the field-of-regard direction and the prism orientations is discussed. Finally, the tolerance analysis results give the predictable pointing direction precision as function of the system tolerances.

An ultra-small telecentric lens with sub-millimeter thickness is proposed. This lens with 0.2 numerical aperture and high field of view is a good candidate to be used in multi-aperture super resolution imagers. Point spread function and the telecentricity of the lens is extracted numerically and measured experimentally. The ray-optics simulation results show nearly diffraction limited performance for the lens.

Reliable fabrication and assembly of high-quality electro-optical imaging systems is a critical challenge facing electro-optical imaging system manufacturers. optical compensation is one standard approach for minimizing the effects of errors introduced during the manufacture and construction of the optical subsystems. We describe how digital image processing should be considered as a form of compensation when evaluating a complete imaging system. We describe a novel method for digital-optical compensation which jointly adjusts both optical parameters and image processing parameters to maximize end-to-end imaging performance. We verify the superiority of this joint compensation strategy over the traditional sequential compensation through several example imaging systems.
