Introduction to Optical System Design & Engineering
Robert E. Fischer is president of OPTICS 1, Inc.
of Westlake Village, CA.
This course provides a broad and useful background
on the design and engineering of imaging optical systems,
with a special emphasis placed on providing a clear
and easy-to-understand discussion of optical design
and engineering fundamentals. All aspects of the design
and engineering of imaging optical systems for both
visible applications as well as the thermal IR and
UV are considered.
This course
will show:
• What imaging
optical systems are all about
• The nature of image degrading aberrations and how
we eliminate them
• Diffraction and what diffraction-limited imagery
is
• How we design and evaluate the performance of optical
systems
• How refractive or lens systems relate to reflective
or mirror systems
and the relative merits of each
• The all-important role of the basic design configuration
• How we design imaging optical systems for the thermal
infrared
• How to tolerance an optical system
• Important fabrication, testing, and producibility
issues for the design engineer
• Computer aided lens design programs and how we use
them
• Design examples using a large computer program.
