SABIC's ULTEM (TM) (polyetherimide) resin has been the choice of material for injection moldable micro lenses and lens arrays in optical communication components such as transceivers due to its unique combination of physical, thermal and optical properties including high refractive index, low absorption in near IR range, good dimensional stability and high heat performance. It's known that processing conditions affect properties of final parts. Often the processing conditions are optimized for best mechanical properties, while their effect on optical properties is sidelined. In this study, the effect of injection molding processing conditions on optical properties of polyetherimide resin is discussed.

The most widely used objectives for the space optics are mirror and catadioptric systems. We have considered several scheme types including the three-mirror schemes both of the Korsch-type and the systems without an intermediate image and compare them from the point of view of packaging conditions, image quality and achievable characteristics. The two-mirror systems with lens correctors are also analyzed. The optical layout and parameters of several variants are presented and the image quality is shown.

The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) instrument is due to be installed on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 1997. STIS uses 20 filters located on a wheel that can rotate any one of 88 apertures or combination filter/aperture into the beam path. The instrument incorporates a continuous range of spectral response from the VUV (115.0 nm) to 1 um. Therefore, filters that perform in the VUV are discussed as well as filters that operate in the near infrared. Neutral density filters are also being used for on-board calibration from 300 nm to Lyman-Alpha (121.6 nm).

Conventional round spot quadrant detector trackers are inherently non-linear. This non-linearity requires multiple iterations to converge onto perfect alignment with the object tracked. We created a system that generates a square spot. The convolution of a square spot with a circle, generated by the quadrant detector, allows this spot to achieve perfect alignment in one iteration. This invention is thus essential to any system that requires speed and accuracy. In this paper, we introduce the theory behind the square spot as well as the design of our linear optical quadrant detector tracking technology.

We discuss the requirements on design and production regarding geometric and chromatic aberrations for objectives used in 4Pi confocal microscopy. We show that even the selection of a category 1/1 glass will not automatically assure that these requirements are met. due to residual variations in the Abbe number nu within the manufacturers tolerances. Consequently, the opticaldesign has to take into consideration the possibility of balancing chromatic aberrations by varying selected air spacings in the final assembly of each individual objective. We also demonstrate. that for analyzing the influence of aberrations on the intensity distribution along the optical axis. a scalar diffraction theory is still applicable and very useful.

Nowadays most industrial and laboratory motion measuring equipment makes use of optical encoders to measure rotation and linear displacements with sub-micrometrical resolution. In this work we introduce a new design of an optical encoder based on a non diffractive beam, a binary amplitude grating and a monolithic photodetector. Two theoretical models of the system are proposed and implemented to obtain numerical results. The performance of the design is also investigated through experimental measurements. Finally, the experimental results are compared with the models predictions.

Two opticaldesigns for marine beacon based on Direct In-line Package (DIP) LED is proposed and demonstrated. The luminous intensity of the marine beacon using DIP LED can achieve to the IALA recommendation's requirement of 5 nautical miles. The measurement of color coordinates can also fit the IALA recommendation's requirement. By the surface-structured TIR lens, we successfully keep the divergence angle to 68 degrees in the horizontal direction and converge to 8 degrees in the vertical direction.

Modern cine lenses require a high degree of aberration correction over a large and ever expanding image size. At low to medium volume production levels, these highly corrected designs also require a workable tolerance set and compensation scheme for successful manufacture. In this paper we discuss the design and manufacture of cine lenses with reference to currentdesigns both internal and in the patent literature and some experience in design, tolerancing and manufacturing these lenses in medium volume production.

A nematic liquid crystal Fabry-Perot interferometer (NLC-FPI) based on nematic material in a parallel configuration
is described, for applications in astronomy. This device allows spectral chopping for an efficient removal of background
radiation, when the source is embedded in a strong background such as the solar corona or IR sources. The
primary design is intended for two-dimensional spectroscopic imaging. This method is also very useful for precision
spectropolarimetry. The NLC-FPI is a tunable, double-channel filtec we present some theoretical and experimental
results obtained on a first generation pmtotype.

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.
