. Goal of optimization: Find the system layout which meets the required performance targets according of the specification
. Formulation of performance criteria must be done for: - Apertur rays - Field points - Wavelengths - Optional several zoom or scan positions
. Selection of performance criteria depends on the application: - Ray aberrations - Spot diameter - Wavefornt description by Zernike coefficients, rms value - Strehl ratio, Point spread function - Contrast values for selected spatial frequencies - Uniformity of illumination
. Usual scenario: Number of requirements and targets quite larger than degrees od freedom, Therefore only solution with compromize possible 12 Optimization in Optical Design
. Merit function: 2 Weighted sum of deviations from target values ist soll g j f j f j j1,m . Formulation of target values: 1. fixed numbers 2. one-sided interval (e.g. maximum value) 3. interval
. Problems: 1. linear dependence of variables 2. internal contradiction of requirements 3. initail value far off from final solution
. Types of constraints: 1. exact condition (hard requirements) 2. soft constraints: weighted target
. Finding initial system setup: 1. modification of similar known solution 2. Literature and patents 3. Intuition and experience 13 Parameter of Optical Systems
. Characterization and description of the system delivers free variable parameters of the system:
- Radii - Thickness of lenses, air distances - Tilt and decenter - Free diameter of components - Material parameter, refractive indices and dispersion - Aspherical coefficients - Parameter of diffractive components - Coefficients of gradient media
. General experience: - Radii as parameter very effective - Benefit of thickness and distances only weak - Material parameter can only be changes discrete
14 Constraints in Optical Systems
Constraints in the optimization of optical systems:
1. Discrete standardized radii (tools, metrology) 2. Total track 3. Discrete choice of glasses 4. Edge thickness of lenses (handling) 5. Center thickness of lenses(stability) 6. Coupling of distances (zoom systems, forced symmetry,...) 7. Focal length, magnification, workling distance 8. Image location, pupil location 9. Avoiding ghost images (no concentric surfaces) 10. Use of given components (vendor catalog, availability, costs)

Introduction to Tolerancing
. Specifications are usually defined for the as-built system
. Optical designer has to develop an error budget that cover all influences on performance degradation as - design imperfections - manufacturing imperfections - integration and adjustment - environmental influences
. No optical system can be manufactured perfectly (as designed) - Surface quality, scratches, digs, micro roughness - Surface figure (radius, asphericity, slope error, astigamtic contributions, waviness) - Thickness (glass thickness and air distances) - Refractive index (n-value, n-homogeneity, birefringence) - Abbe number - Homogeneity of material (bubbles and inclusions) - Centering (orientation of components, wedge of lenses, angles of prisms, position of
components) - Size of components (diameter of lenses, length of prism sides) - Special: gradient media deviations, diffractive elements, segmented surfaces,...
. Tolerancing and development of alignment concepts are essential parts of the optical design process Ref: K. Uhlendorf 46
