This paper investigates the design of an ophthalmic rigid contact lens (CL) that has a Q-type aspheric surface to reduce the tolerance error budget and produce higher visual acuity. CLs for myopia correction are typically made with spherical surfaces;when such CLs are worn in darkness, the visual acuity degrades severely due to the spherical aberration generated by pupil dilation. To maximize visual acuity, an aspheric CL is essential because it can correct the spherical aberration. In this study, a CL is designed based on a schematic eye model for evaluating the modulation transfer function (MTF) on the retina, and the result shows that the visual acuity produced by an aspheric CL is superior to that produced by a spherical CL. The traditional power-series polynomial is commonly used for aspheric surface design, but the aspheric slope cannot be controlled during optimization. The large slope departure from a best-fit sphere leads to high tolerance sensitivity and an inflection point;however, the CL does not permit such results. To solve this problem, the Q-type polynomial with slope constraint proposed by Forbes is applied to the aspheric CL in this study. The Q-type aspheric polynomial can not only enhance the optimization efficiency due to its orthogonal characteristics, but also reduce error budget for maximal manufacturing yield. The simulation results demonstrated that the spherical aberration is successfully reduced by the Q-type aspheric CL for better visual acuity in darkness.

Distortion is one major shortcoming of conventional wide-angle lens. The correction of distortion can maximize field of view in a wide-angle lens and benefit natural scenes. In this paper, we propose a compact wide-angle lens utilizing freeform surfaces to address the shortcoming. The design approaches, including the starting point selection, freeform surface conversion scheme, and system optimization, are discussed in detail. Moreover, freeform diagnostic tools are developed aiming to facilitate system optimization and visualize the critical aspects of optical performance. The simulation results are demonstrated and discussed. Analysis results demonstrate that the design strategies proposed in this paper have been shown to be effective in reducing distortion as well as improving optical performance. We envision that the proposed design schemes will have a positive effect on research and application values for wide angle lens system.

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.

Digital engineering technologies are transforming long-stagnant development processes by applying the tremendous advancements in Information Technology (IT) to classical engineering tasks such as design, analysis, and fabrication of space-flight instrument structures. Generative design leverages developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud computing to enable a paradigm shift in the design process, allowing the engineer to focus on defining the requirements and objectives of the design while AI generates optimized designs which comply with the input requirements. Digital Manufacturing allows these complex lightweight designs to be efficiently manufactured by directly fabricating from the resulting 3D models. The development of these two Digital engineering technologies realizes significant mass savings while simultaneously reducing structure development time from months to days. This paper describes the development of the Evolved Structures process applying these technologies to spaceflight optical instrument structures including an example demonstrating greater than 10x reduction in development time/cost and greater than 3x improvement in structural performance.

A file sharing site for lens designs 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. Lens designers can also benefit from such design libraries. This paper explains the utility and structure of the site.

In this paper, different opticaldesigns, which are composed of different MWIR optical materials, are utilized for passive athermalization and their performance in athermalization are analyzed. The opticaldesigns are carried out by preserving the athermal property as well as keeping the image quality at higher levels within the working temperature between -40 degrees C and +60 degrees C. The passive athermalization process begins with the calculation of athermalization conditions of candidate material properties. By considering these conditions, athermal material pairs are chosen. To reduce optical aberrations, aspherical surfaces are utilized during the optimization process. At the end of the design phase, the performance of different configurations of athermal optical material pairs, which are enclosed by aluminum alloy housing material, are presented.

Dual field of view optical systems provide search, detect and observation abilities with wide and narrow field of views. These systems provide dual field of view by changing the effective focal length with moving a lens or lens group mechanically to exact positions. In this paper, previously proposed methodology is used to change effective focal length without any mechanical movement. This methodology relies on ionization of fluid with voltage difference to change the refractive index which is patented in 2022.
