Novel thermovision imaging systems having high efficiency require very sophisticated optical components. This paper describes the diffractive optical elements which are designed for the wavelengths between 8 and 14 mu m for the application in the FLIR cameras. In the current paper the authors present phase only diffractive elements manufactured in the etched gallium arsenide. Due to the simplicity of the manufacturing process only binary phase elements were designed and manufactured. Such solution exhibits huge chromatic aberration. Moreover, the performance of such elements is rather poor, which is caused by two factors. The first one is the limited diffraction efficiency (c.a. 40%) of binary phase structures. The second problem lies in the Fresnel losses coming from the reflection from the two surfaces (around 50%). Performance of this structures is limited and the imaging contrast is poor. However, such structures can be used for relatively cheap practical testing of the new ideas. For example this solution is sufficient for point spread function (PSF) measurements. Different diffractive elements were compared. The first one was the equivalent of the lensdesigned on the basis of the paraxial approximation. For the second designing process, the non-paraxial approach was used. It was due to the fact that f/# was equal to 1. For the non-paraxial designing the focal spot is smaller and better focused. Moreover, binary phase structures suffer from huge chromatic aberrations. Finally, it is presented that non-paraxially designed optical element imaging with extended depth of focus (light-sword) can suppress chromatic aberration and therefore it creates the image not only in the image plane.

A file sharing site for lensdesigns has been started at *** . This site currently contains almost 2,000 optical models. Many engineering disciplines have built public libraries of useful, publicly-available content. For example, GITHUB(1) has publicly-available software;GrabCAD(2), 3DcontentCentral(3), TurboSquid(4) all offer mechanical engineering content such as solids files;TI, Analog, etc. offer reference designs for electronics engineers. Generally, these services aren't just file repositories;they also offer collaboration, yielding more models, more refinement, more discussion, more community, and more to learn. lensdesigners can also benefit from such design libraries. This paper explains the utility and structure of the site.

In the paper, we present a design of street light with use of a TIR lens and a specific diffuser of micro-lens array. In the illumination area of 39 m x 16.4 m, the power, output flux and the efficiency of the street light on the target area are about 160 W, 10530 lm and 85 %, respectively, and the uniformity reaches 1/1.64.

In order to produce an instrument or sensor design in the face of demanding environmental constraints of a spaceborne system, an integrated approach to sensor design has been developed that incorporates design tools for: opticaldesign, mechanical design, structural, stray light and thermal analysis. This integrated approach can be extended to the entire payload design and its increased constraints.

A lunar orbiting space terminal was recently developed as part of NASA's Lunar Laser Communications Demonstration program. The space terminal uses a 10 centimeter, inertially-stabilized telescope and a 0.5 watt beam to transmit data at up to 622Mbps between the Moon and one of several ground terminals on Earth. Tight coupling between analysis and testing was used to ensure both performance and survival requirements were met in the operational and non-operational vibration environments. Performance requirements were driven by the need to meet a 4.2 mu rad pointing stability requirement in the operational vibration environment. A highly-correlated FEA model was developed using vibration testing to extrapolate the behavior of the system beyond the practical limits of the vibration test bed. The launch load non-operational vibration environment was simulated through both analysis and testing using force-limiting to avoid over designing and over testing the sensitive optics. The iterative and associated challenges of the vibration analysis and testing effort are discussed to show how those efforts helped enable the successful launch, deployment, and ultimately demonstration of NASA's first space laser communications program.

This paper discusses some methodologies that apply to the opticaldesign of reflective wide-field cameras. Among the methods considered are off-axis and eccentric pupil systems, concatenation of systems, tilted component systems, aberration theory, and confocal systems. The goal of the paper is to review design methods. In particular some systems are shown to illustrate two methodologies.

This paper describes our experience with global lens optimization using algorithms that can modify an existing lens construction in an optimal way or create an entirely new construction. The binary-search method assembles lens elements according to the bits in a binary number, ensuring that all combinations of power are tested, while the saddle-point method can either add elements to a starting lens or start from scratch. The latter algorithm also naturally leads to a method of removing an element in an optimum way, which can sometimes simplify a lens with no loss of quality.
