The Ascendency of Numerical Methods in Lens Design
Advancement in physics often results from analyzing numerical data and then creating a theoretical model that can explain and predict those data. In the field of lens design, the reverse is true: longstanding theoretical understanding is being overtaken ...

Passive Athermal Optical Design Method Considering Thermal-Induced Surface Deformation
Temperature variation not only results in changes in refractive index, radius, thickness, and air space, but also leads to surface deformation due to the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between glass and mechanical materials. However, existing

Optical interconnection networks based on microring resonators [PDF]
Optical microring resonators can be integrated on a chip to perform switching operations directly in the optical domain. Thus they become a building block to create switching elements in on-chip optical interconnection networks, which promise to overcome

Shape recognition using orientational and morphological scale‐spaces of curvatures
In this study, a scale‐invariant representation for closed planar curves (silhouettes) is proposed. The orientations of all points within the Gaussian scale‐space of the curve are extracted.
