Introduction toLens DesignJose SasianIntroduction to Lens DesignOptical lenses have many important applications,from telescopes and spectacles,tomicroscopes and lasers.This concise,introductory book provides an overview of thesubtle art of lens design.It covers the fundamental optical theory,and the practicalmethods and tools employed in lens design,in a succinct and accessible manner.Topicscovered include first-order optics,optical aberrations,achromatic doublets,opticalrelays,lens tolerances,designing with off-the-shelf lenses,miniature lenses,and zoomlenses.Covering all the key concepts of lens design,and providing suggestions forfurther reading at the end ofeach chapter,this book is an essential resource for graduatestudents working in optics and photonics,as well as for engineers and techniciansworking in the optics and imaging industries.JOsE SASIAN is Professor of Optical Design at the James C.Wyant College of OpticalSciences at the University of Arizona in Tucson,AZ.He has taught a course on lensdesign for more than 20 years and has published extensively in the field.He has workedas a consultant in lens design for the optics industry,and has been responsible for thedesign of a variety of successful and novel lens systems.
