WYANT COLLEGE OF OPTICAL SCIENCES In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Graduate College THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA 2019 2 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to first thank my parents in China for their support that encouraged me to pursue both bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degree abroad. I would also like to thank my girlfriend Jie Feng for her strong support and being the first reader of each chapter of this dissertation. I am very grateful to my adviser, Dr. Jose Sasian. This project would not have been possible without his constant support and mentoring. I would also like to acknowledge the members of my committee, Dr. Rongguang Liang and Dr. Jim Schwiegerling, who took their time to review this dissertation and gave me valuable suggestions. In addition, I would like to thank Zemax for giving me permission to use their software for designing and evaluating the optical systems in this project. I would also like to thank Dr. Liang for his funding and support to the project “Optical performance evaluation and chromatic aberration correction of a focus tunable lens used for 3D microscopy”, which is included in Chapter 4 of this dissertation. 4 DEDICATION To my parents Xueping and Zhiming, and to my love Jie 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES
