Mobile phone cameras are probably the ones that have driven the race for shorter TTL over the past 10 years. Ten years ago, cell phone cameras were composed of 3-4 optical plastic elements within one camera lens; today it takes more than 6 optical elements to obtain mega pixel resolution. But it is still not enough. The market has an insatiable appetite for greater optical performance. Consequently, the lens system has become more complex and now may require more optical elements with more complex optical functions. In this context, can the metasurface lens play a role? In this paper, we will try to address this question and discuss how metasurfaces promise to become a game changer in the consumer electronics market.","PeriodicalId":10843,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering XX","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86430367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent work, a fully-connected (FC) deep neural network was trained to learn this task by extrapolating from known lens design databases. Here, we introduce a new dynamic neural-network architecture for the starting point problem which is based on a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture. As we show, the dynamic network can learn to infer good starting points on many lens design structures at once whereas the previous model was limited to a given sequence of glass elements and air gaps. We also show that a pretrained RNN model can generalize its knowledge over new lens design structures for which we have no reference lens design and obtain a significantly better optical performance than a RNN trained from scratch.","PeriodicalId":10843,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering XX","volume":"86 10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86625013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the high cost of traditional remote downconverters has limited their wide adoptions in these applications. Herein, we report a one-step, general synthesis method that can convert commercial light-diffusing polymer microspheres into highly luminescent perovskite-based downconverters at an extremely low cost. Involving a quick antisolvent-induced heterogeneous nucleation, our method creates well-dispersed perovskite nanoparticles anchored onto polymer microspheres and the whole process takes only several seconds at room temperature without any complex experimental setups. Significantly, the as-synthesized perovskite-on-polymer microspheres offer widely tunable, highly saturated colors with light-diffusing capability. The pure green-emitting CsPbBr3 manifests a high PL quantum yield of 70.6% and superior stability in water is also demonstrated. With these very saturated colors, we propose two configurations of integrating these microspheres into SSL systems. Further optimizations demonstrate that highly efficient, excellent color-rendering, and circadian lighting can be achieved. Thus, these luminescent microspheres hold great promise to be adopted as a low-cost, high-quality replacement for the traditional, expensive remote downconverters in SSL, LCDs and beyond.","PeriodicalId":10843,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering XX","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86826084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BSDF is an important function in precise lighting design, because surface scattering is difficult to determine and including it in simulations. However, to measure a whole field BSDF is time consuming, as it can take as long as a day. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a new way to measure BSDF. We utilize a screen that is illuminated by the scattered light, and a camera that captures the image on the screen. A complex calibration between the grey level of the camera and intensity is performed to make sure the measurement is valid. Through continuously imaging the screen for various scattered light distributions, an image fusion is performed to present the final BSDF. We call this instrument as screen image synthesis (SIS) BSDF meter. In this paper, two generations of SIS BSDF meter was developed, and is shown in details.","PeriodicalId":10843,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering XX","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91324591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Refractive errors were simulated by modifying only the first curvature of the cornea. For every refractive error was calculating Zernike polynomials using Optics Software for Layout and Optimization (OSLO) EDU edition with and without contact lens. To calculate the conic constant of the contact lens we use the Seidel sums for thin lenses from the longitudinal spherical aberration as it proposes V. Mahajan. The value of Zernike spherical aberration coefficient for the eye with farsightedness (+ 5.00 D) + spherical contact lens was 0.142691 μm. The conic constant value to compensate the spherical aberration was -0.222995 and the value of Zernike spherical aberration coefficient of the eye + aspherical contact lens was 0.004354 μm. The value of Zernike spherical aberration coefficient for the eye with myopia (- 5.00 D) + spherical contact lens was 0.144505 μm. The conic constant value to compensate the spherical aberration was -0.101424 and the value of Zernike spherical aberration coefficient of the eye + aspherical contact lens was 0.072820 μm. The proposed method allows us to design contact lenses that compensate for the spherical aberration of the eye from the Zernike polynomials. Although the design of contact lenses is to third order, we obtain a smaller spherical aberration than the chromatic aberration on the axis without use optimization routine.","PeriodicalId":10843,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering XX","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89217339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of a variable focus lens has the potential for replacing bulky optical systems and allows the miniaturization of imaging optics used in digital cameras and mobile phone cameras. In this paper, a liquid lens platform for use in an undergraduate laboratory setting is presented. A variable lens is prepared by injecting water into bulk polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) that remains uncured in its fluid state. We report the tunable focusing ability of this simple liquid lens system and analyze the change in focal length as a function of injected water volume. The water-PDMS interface acts as a diverging lens, in agreement with ray tracing analysis based on curvature and refractive indices. Variable focal lengths are measured with an optical set-up employing a helium-neon laser and a solid converging lens with focal length = 2.5 cm. By increasing the water volume from 0.05 to 0.30 ml, we are able to tune the focal length from -6.5 mm to -10.6 mm. Lens geometry remains spherical as the curvature of the lens changes with the addition of water. Our experiments coincide with a simple theoretical framework for a thick lens immersed in a medium. The water-PDMS lens is a promising component of basic and advanced experiments in an undergraduate optics course.","PeriodicalId":10843,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering XX","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79447822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
