Tolerance analysis and tolerance sensitivity optimization (desensitization) are important and necessary for manufacturability. However, compared to the optimization of optical performance, tolerance analysis is still time-consuming. A machine learning approach for the fast robustness estimation of lens systems is proposed. The results of the machine learning estimation and the other four different methods are compared with the results of the Monte Carlo analysis. The proposed model is added to the merit function in commercial software for optimization to reduce the sensitivity.

The aim of this paper is to review the existing techniques for optical glass selection to be applied during the design of colour corrected lens-based systems. Special attention has been given into their application to optical instrumentation working along a wide spectral range (VIS and SWIR). Finally, a case study introducing glass selection strategies applied to the design of lens-based diffraction limited instrumentation is described.

We propose two parameters CS and AS for fast estimating sensitivities to constant coma and linear astigmatism in a misaligned lens system. We show that these figures correlate well with actual tolerancing of some lens systems.

A custom optical microscope with an integrated liquid lens to enable an extended depth imaging in biological tissue has been fabricated and shown to provide subcellular resolution using Gabor image fusion in an optical coherence tomography setup. In this paper, we report on the development and assessment path of this technology over the last few years. Specifically, we report on the optical design as well as the MTF prediction and experimental measurements of the new optical microscope head. The microscope head was integrated in a custom optical coherence microscopy setup that is presented. Images of an African frog tadpole, ex vivo human breast excised tissue, and in vivo skin images, acquired with the integrated instrument, are presented.

Optical systems with a reflected light condition, e.g. microscopes with reflected light illumination or fundus cameras, need to have weak first order ghosts or even to be completely free from them. Sequential ray tracing can be used to control optical performance and reflections on a ray basis during optimization. This is significantly more efficient in computation time and convergence than the usual approaches with non-sequential ray tracing or reconfigured optical systems to cover all critical ghosts. An ophthalmic lens for a fundus camera was designed with first order reflections stripped out by applying sequential ray tracing. The merit-function only had to be completed under certain conditions guaranteeing the absence of any reflections. No additional reconfiguration of the optical system in the design software was necessary.

The design of a binocular visual system with long eye relief using the freeform profile is investigated in this paper. The surface parameters of the original profile were calculated upon its geometrical structure specification, and the tangential profile of the surface is described using the sample points. The astigmatism along the tangential plane can meet the system requirement.
