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.
Metalenses can be used as standalone single elements or incorporated as one component of a subassembly that also includes other non-metalensoptical elements. Because of the sub-wavelength length scale of the meta-ato...

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.

This study presents the methods for designing an expander lens for an MWIR zoom lens through the third-order aberration analysis and evaluating the optical zoom system. This expander lens is used to enlarge the focal lengths of an original main zoom lens two times, which unfortunately doubles the aperture size of the expander lens elements. Thus, this extended apertures significantly generate the aberrations of a zoom system. To solve the problem, an expander lens has been designed using the third-order aberration analysis numerically. Since an MWIR optical system uses a cooled detector, this zoom system should be designed to eliminate the narcissus effect. Using this design approach, we efficiently obtain an expander lens for an MWIR zoom system satisfying the current requirements.

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.
In conventional free space optical communication receivers, focusing optics reduces the field of regard (in the range of millidegree) while increasing the power received by the detector. As a result, a receiver commun...

Several off-the-shelf opticallenses and lens components are available for use in the design of new optical systems. But there isn't a clear methodology on how effective there can be in a real optical device. It should be noted that the use of standard optical elements reduces the cost of the optical device, which is especially important for mass production. Ease and speed of replacement are also important parameters for the usability of standard optical elements. That is why the extensive use of purchased optical elements in optical devices will simplify their operation and improve the convenience of maintenance. Selecting purchased optical components of an optical circuit is not an easy task and requires certain skills. The main problem is that the opticaldesign stage is divided into two parts. The first part is the creation of an optical circuit from non-standard (custom) optical components with optical characteristics close to cataloging lenses. The second part is to adjust the position of the optical component to satisfy specification requirements. This process sometimes required several iterations. For the process of fitting distances in an optical system to be successful, it is necessary to take into account the properties of optical glasses such as refractive index and dispersion when choosing lens components, in addition to their focal lengths and geometrical dimensions. It should be noted that in the catalogs of optical components there are optical parameters of lenses, and also glass parameters of the lens. This is essential information for lensdesigners to substitution the custom optical element for the off-the-shelf lens. Problems that arise with such a replacement are based on a limited number of standard lenses and lens components. To get comfortable for replacement, the custom lenses components must be modified (adjusted) so that optical parameters will be close enough to the parameters of the catalog lenses other words during the custom lenses opt
