We propose a fiber-based hand-held scanning probe suitable for the sample arm of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). To achieve a compact and miniaturized probe, a single-body lensed-fiber, on which an iron-bead ferromagnetic material is loaded was fabricated and a solenoid actuator driven by readily available driving voltage (10 v) and current (120 mA) was utilized. A focusing lens was directly formed in a single-body onto the distal end of a fiber, which eliminated any complement optical components in front of a conventional sample probe and removes any optical alignment problem. By using the soft-iron solenoid actuator, the fiber in the probe is activated which gives the sample scanning for the OCT imaging. Moreover, the simple design of the solenoid allowed easy fabrication and a good practicality. With the implemented probe, OCT images of a pearl and a human finger tip were obtained at an imaging speed of 30 Hz and a scanning range of 4 mm

Several common impediments to successful lensdesign can be removed by application of new techniques. These involve using information that has long been calculated during the design process, but then discarded. Problems so addressed include the nuisance of discovering ray failures in the starting configuration, and that of tolerance desensitization, among others.

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.

An optically passive athermal infrared optical system working in the 8 - 12 micron long wavelength infrared band was designed by using a special infrared optical material AMTIR (amorphous material transmitting infrared radiation). The design principle, design results are described in this paper. In addition, the optical system was incorporated with an infrared focal plane array forming an infrared camera. The thermal test of imaging quality of this camera is also presented

In this study, we take a data-driven approach to study the design efficiency of a variety of opticaldesigns. Efficiency is defined to be the number of resolvable spots across the image per lens element. 3188 designs were selected from a commercially available lens database. Each design was imported into a raytrace code, briefly optimized, and the number of resolvable spots was computed. Examples of efficient designs within this dataset are shown. Four design efficiency groupings are created and discussed separately: 1) all-spherical, monochromatic designs, 2) monochromatic designs with some aspheres, 3) all-spherical, polychromatic designs, and 4) polychromatic designs with some aspheres. Zoom lens systems were excluded from the dataset. The results of the analysis are intended to answer the question of "how many elements does it take, as a minimum, to deliver a certain number of resolved spots?"
