Modelling techniques for optimizing bubble detection tools in the infrared band used in conjunction with a drug transport mechanism for the transport of intravenous fluids in clinical practice have been evaluated qualitatively using simulation techniques. Sensors which are used in signal processing often have limitation when they are made to work in noisy environment. Noise in the working environment can be from various sources such as from power line, high frequency RF fields and background luminance. In case of certain optical sensors, coupling schemes and the interference from devices which are in close proximity to the sensors can also contribute to significant noise. Qualitative studies on the effect of background luminance noise have provided a good understanding on the degree of susceptibility of the optoelectronic receiver for various luminance noises resulting in interferences in the output of a tool developed for the detection of air bubbles in fluid pathways called the "optical Bubble Detection Tool". Experience gained from the earlier studies has provided the required knowledge for developing a design which is less susceptible to external disturbances. The dynamic excitation method for the "optical Bubble Detection Tool" was introduced by modifying the electronic interface of the earlier "optical Bubble Detection Tool". This was easily achieved by understanding the requirements of the pulsed current for energizing the transmitter of the "optical Bubble Detection Tool". As the frequency of excitation and the intensity of the emitted infrared are factors which decide the resolution and sensitivity of the "optical Bubble Detection Tool", it was optimized for several operating environments which are under the influence of other external radiations in the visible range and non-visible range.

This paper provides an overview of the development of closed-form Green's functions in planar multilayered structures, with an emphasis given to the discrete complex image method (DCIM). In addition to the review of the materials in the literature, the latest developments on DCIM and its applications to artificial materials are also discussed.

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

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.

Several common impediments to successful lens design 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.

Automated computer-aided procedure for component selection, opticaldesign, and optimization was developed and used to produce prototype ocular optics of a head-mounted display for biomedical imaging, with the field of view and resolution approaching those of normal human vision. The new display has the potential to dramatically increase the amount and fidelity of real-time visual information presented to the user. The selected approach was based on a tiled configuration and "optically stitched" virtual image, resulting in seamless imagery generated by multiple micro-displays. Several optical configurations were studied in the design stage, to arrive at the optimal optical layout. The automated procedure provided for extensive search of the best candidate stock components out of thousands of candidate lenses offered by different vendors. At each iteration, the candidate lens was "digitally inserted" in the optical layout, its position was optimized, and the achieved merit function characterizing the quality of the stitched image was stored, along with the design prescription. A few best designs were then closely evaluated in a traditional "manual" procedure. The design effort was followed by experimental demonstration and tests of a limited prototype optical system.

The diffractive optical element (DOE) is always modeled as an ideal pure diffractive clement which neglects the refractive dispersion of the clement's material. In this paper, a new model of the diffractive optical element is proposed, in which the effect of the refractive dispersion of the DOE's material is considered. The new model is explained and compared with standard diffraction-order expansion with the help of a hybrid system example. The analytical results show that the new model has an important meaning for the exact analysis of the hybrid refractive-diffractive optical system.
