A Quantitative Analysis of Most Effective Design Configuration for Complex Optical System.

Authors: Lev Ryzhikov

During design process of complex optical system such as high NA (numerical aperture) microscope objective lenses, camera lens objectives with F number < 2 or zoomable lenses usually several design configurations have been developed. Each complex objective lens consists of several lens components (groups). An optimal lens components configuration allows create most effective optical system design form with minimum number of optical lens elements. Optical design practice shown that most effective optical lens configuration can be found when several different designs form were developed. In this process one or several optical designers need to be involved in this process. The analysis method developed in this article allowed to quantified results for each optical system configuration and choose most optimal (efficient) optical system. This method based on assumption that for optimization of optical system commercially available optical design software has been used. In this case some lens parameters such as lens radiuses, glass thicknesses and lens shapes will be optimized at a high technical level. Advance lens design software also chooses fictious glasses for lens components. Usually, in complex optical system if designer used glasses with refractive index and Abbe number matching fictious glass “proposed” software next cases occurred: design has more lenses than necessary or design form does not achieve essential image quality requirements. Proposed method of optical systems analysis allows to compare different design forms with the same specification and thus find optical system which has least complex configuration or in other words, choose the most effective optical system configuration.
