- December 2020
Description
This second edition of Lens Design: Automatic and quasi-autonomous computational methods and techniques shows how these new tools can design systems in minutes that would have required weeks or months of labor using older methods.
Key Features
- Discusses the pros and cons of traditional design tools and the role of aberration theory today
- Explains the topology of the lens design landscape and why there are many different solutions
- Shows how to quickly achieve many potential solutions and how to select a preferred solution
- Describes tools for modifying a lens form by automatically inserting or deleting elements
- Lists a variety of tips and ideas that resulted from 50 years of experience
