Lens Design: Automatic and quasi-autonomous computational methods and techniques

By Donald Dilworth

Lens Design: Automatic and quasi-autonomous computational methods and techniques is the first book that interactively describes the newest lens design tools. Detailing design methods for a variety of lens forms, this book shows that fixed focus and zoom lenses can be optimized, starting from plane-parallel surfaces, in a brief time on a modern fast PC compared with traditional tools that require many days or weeks of tedious work. Loaded with tips and ideas resulting from more than 50 years of experience, the reader will improve their lens design skill. Experienced and aspiring lens designers who master the power of the tools, methods, and principles taught in this book will be able to develop excellent designs now and in the future.
