Due to increasing environmental limitations on the use of certain raw materials used to make optical glasses, there is now an economic desire to minimize the number of glasses used in lensdesign. This paper presents the results of a study to create a suggested universal catalogue that contains the minimum number of glasses needed to satisfy most possible lensdesigns. A nearly symmetric double Gauss lens is used in the glass selection process. As part of this study, the relationship between the error function and the number of glasses chosen is studied, and in addition, a glass range study is also carried out. Three different lens libraries were studied using the global optimization method and the most frequently chosen glasses were then compiled into the suggested universal glass catalogue. A suggested universal glass catalogue constructed from this study is presented.

We present details of opticaldesign, opto-mechanical design and testing of a visible-NIR imaging optical system for a Fourier transform spectrometer dedicated to astronomical application at the Mont Megantic Observatory (Observatoire du Mont Megantic, OMM, located south Quebec city, Canada). design considerations as well as testing and experimental results are presented.

Using the caustic merit function for plane waves incident upon a singlet lens, a comparison between the optical performance of the lens using an axial gradient index with spherical surfaces or aspheric surfaces with constant index material has been investigated. Results indicate that the use of an inhomogeneous medium for the lens material is more effective in the controlling aberrations than the use of aspheric surfaces for a similar lens.

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a novel design to make color mixing and projection of RGB LEDs. The optical elements include a high reflective light pipe, a volume scattering diffuser and a TIR lens. The system optical efficiency is around 46 % while the color is well mixing for the cases at the CCTs of 6500K, 4500K and 3000K.

The meniscus between two immiscible liquids can be used as an opticallens. A change in curvature of this meniscus by electrowetting leads to a change in focal distance. We demonstrate that two liquids in a tube form a self-centered tunable lens of high optical quality. Several properties were studied, such as optical performance, electrical characteristics and dynamic behavior. We designed and constructed a miniature camera module based on this tunable lens and show that it is very well suited for use in portable applications.

This paper provides a set of polarization aberration fields that are useful for understanding polarization aberrations in optical imaging systems. The aberration function of a plane symmetric system is used to build the polarization fields. Polarization aberration coefficients for a system of spherical surfaces are also given.

The Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) is part of the science instrumentation for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The FGS is required to operate at 37 K and provide the data needed to facilitate fine pointing and attitude stabilization necessary to meet the requirements of the mission's science and engineering operations. We describe here the selection of the proper opticaldesign form to meet requirements and its relative merits. The FGS has progressed with the successful completion of several key design reviews. The opticaldesign of the current stage will be discussed here in detail.

In this research, an optical integrated module including a liquid-filled lens, a flexible sensor membrane and a self-adjusted optical compensation component was designed. We studied the optical relationship (which is called compensation function) between the liquid-filled lens and the sensor membrane to make the system has good optical characters. According to compensation function, this module compensates the optical character between lens and sensor membrane to obtain a clear image by adjusting the internal pressure and volume of the liquid in the liquid filled optical system. For a single lensoptical system, the curvy sensor membrane has better performance than flat type sensor in off optical axis due to Petzval surface is curved. An optical experiment was set up to measure the performance of the module to prove the idea, and the results show that the module achieves the desired effect.

Data driven approaches have proven very efficient in many vision tasks and are now used for optical parameters optimization in application-specific camera design. A neural network is trained to estimate images or image quality indicators from the optical characteristics. The complexity and entanglement of such optical parameters raise new challenges we investigate in the case of wide-angle systems. We highlight them by establishing a data-driven prediction model of the RMS spot size from the distortion using mathematical or AI-based methods.
We propose the use of a liquid-crystal switch consisting of a liquid-crystal cell and a polarizing beam-splitter in a single-lens-reflex camera to replace a mechanical hinged-mirror. Since there is no vibration and no...
