Notes on some advanced topics.Experienced optical designers and engineers often develop personal 'bags of tricks' in the course of their careers. These tricks may, for example, involve special techniques to design lens systems, or perhaps they may be simple methods to align components. A designer's bag of tricks saves time in typical modern fast-paced product development commercial projects. If you are an early-career designer, perhaps the hardest part about product development is knowing how to get started on applying the fundamentals to a real-world design within a tight schedule. Modern Classical Optical System Design (MCOSD) is a book that, hopefully, can save you some needed time. MCOSD shares this author's bag of tricks to help get you started in optical system design in a modern, fast-paced product development context. Design techniques, tips, and tricks for general optical systems are written with simple explanations and illustrations, but in-depth discussions (with mathematical rigor) are also provided for further study (you can procrastinate, but you ought to eventually know this material well because deep knowledge is the ultimate power of a designer). The term 'modern classical' in the title of the book is meant to convey the message that well-established principles are applied to the design of optical systems by way of using specific tools and features of a modern optical design program (in this book, I have used the Ansys Zemax OpticStudioª program). Also, some well-known concepts and formulas are re-interpreted (i.e., proven and derived differently, or expressed in a different form) and specific examples are provided to show how they can be applied to the design of optical systems. Part of IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics.Fresh graduates, early career professionals, experienced professionals in optical product development, researchers in optical engineering, and anyone who wants a 'flavor' of modern optical system design.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Ronian Siew obtained his degrees in optics and physics at the University of Rochester. He is an optics consultant with more than 25 years of professional experience designing optical systems, with recent focus on bioimaging and sensing. He has authored scientific peer-refereed papers, four books, and holds two patents, one related to an optical system in a digital PCR instrument that has been applied to Covid-19 surveillance and detection. Ronian also serves as an associate editor in the area of optical design for SPIE's Spotlight book series.Title from PDF title page (viewed on March 4, 2024).
