We present the design of a compact, low-cost finger imager, to be used for enrolling and recognizing individuals based upon their finger ridge patterns. The optical system employs viewing beyond the critical angle and darkfield illumination for maximum image contrast. The optical system is afocal and telecentric, achieving corrected distortion with oblique viewing.

Recent developments in the field of high transmitting beam shaping optics for material processing are presented. Central parts of these optics are non-rotationally symmetric optical elements (NOEs). Advanced design principles for NOEs are presented. An optical setup containing a NOE and a system for the adaptation of the spatial coherence properties of excimer lasers to the processing requirements are presented together with beam diagnosis and material processing results. In comparison to results obtained earlier a largely increased beam shaping performance is demonstrated.

The Next Generation Sky Survey (NGSS) Telescope is a spaceborne cryogenic optical telescope with four channels covering the wavelength range 3.5 to 23 microns. The 0.5 m aperture telescope is based on a modified three mirror afocal design, with a scan mirror at the exit pupil compensating for the spacecraft motion. After the scan mirror, the light is spectrally split and focussed by three refractive camera systems onto four detector arrays. The nominal opticaldesign exceeds the requirement of diffraction limited performance at 8 microns wavelength over the 1 degree by 0.5 degree field of regard.

Some results obtained in the realization of compact relay systems design are presented. Four optical configurations have been analyzed. Two symmetrical schemes were examined having field Smith's lenses for a image scaling of-ix. The achieved numerical aperture is up to 0.35 and the MTFs curves are at 40 cycles1/mm for a contrast ratio of 0.2. The third design has a large field of 40 mm but its F-number is about F/4.5. The last relay system is unsymmetrical. The scaling is 2x and the image field exceeds 50 mm. The aberration balancing results and the optical systems performance are illustrated.

A number of optical plastic materials are examined. The indices of refraction are measured in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions from 435.8 nm to 1052 mn. Some obtained data and Abbe constants are presented. The glass libraries of the opticaldesign software packages are updated. The spherochromatic aberration balancing is analyzed during the all-plastic doublet and tripler synthesis for a working wavelengths interval from 600 nm to 900 nm. Two achromatic triplets are designed intended for NIR region. Three all-plastic 3X magnifiers are developed for NV goggles. The optical configurations are given. The aberration corrections are evaluated. The obtained optical performance is illustrated. Some conclusions for the trends in all-plastic opticaldesign are drawn.

The Hobby-Eberly Telescope uses a ii-meter diameter F/1.45 segmented spherical primary mirror. A spherical mirror of this size generates large amounts of spherical aberration. To be used successfully in a tilted optical Arecibo type telescope, the spherical aberration needs to be corrected. This means that tracking of astronomical targets is achieved through moving a tracker optical package which imposes somewhat severe packaging constraints. Given these packaging constraints, novel methods must be employed to correct the aberrations with the Spherical Aberration Corrector contained in the moving hacker optical package. The paper reviews the pertinent requirements, constraints and the resultant design of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Four Mirror Spherical Aberration Corrector.

Ball Aerospace is building the Cryogenic Telescope Assembly (CTA) for the Space InfraRed Telescope Facility (SIRTF) project and stray light control is a critical part of this effort. The heliocentric orbit where the Sun is never allowed to illuminate the CTA and the Earth is relatively far away is a key feature for stray light control. Mirror and paint BRDFs were measured at various SIRTF wavelengths in order to provide inputs for the stray light models. Stray light from telescope self emission, a distant point source, and the galaxy were analyzed. The design ensures that stray light will be less than 21% of the celestial background at all SIRTF wavelengths.

An original method to enable the exact solution for the noncemented two-lens objective by means of any number of simultaneous non-linear equations is described. The method is limited to spherical surfaces without decentrations. Separations and refractive indices of glasses are fixed. Ail curvatures of surfaces are indirectly determined in the final stage. The typical meridional aperture aberrations deal with aplanatic and achromatic conditions. Essence of the method relies on formulation functions which contain trigonometric expressions and are nested up to certain depth. The method uses the advanced professional mathematical software which is indispensable for serving the non-linear system of equations. Numerical examples confirm the helpfulness of the method.

We describe the features of the optical system for Terrestrial Planet Finder, a space-based, cryogenic (35 K) interferometer for direct detection of Earth-type planets around nearby stars. Destructive interference in a stellar interferometer suppresses stellar glare by a factor of several thousand or more, and phase chopping distinguishes planet light from symmetric backgrounds. The mid-infrared (7-20 mu m) is favorable for detecting planetary emission relative to that from the star, and this spectral region also offers important molecular signatures indicative of key atmospheric gases.

Non-imaging integrators which can be used for laser beam homogenization in materials processing with excimer laser radiation are analysed with regards to geometrical and statistical optics. A model for the transversal degree of coherence of the laser radiation is presented in order to estimate the performance of the integrating devices for the partially coherent excimer laser radiation. This is necessary for a more relevant design of those elements than a design by geometric optical means only. The concept of non-imaging integrators is enhanced by separating the multifaceted element from the focusing lens. This separation provides more flexibility in the processing distance of the optical system. A further enhancement is the combination of such a system with an imaging lens in order to create a system which produces a top hat fluence distribution with variable size for materials processing applications.
