A hyper-aspheroid is a surface of revolution (with a specified vertex curvature) that nears or extends beyond where it’s parallel to the axis. The familiar ‘hyperhemispherical’ is one limiting example, but the superconic and rational Bezier app

Both spherical aberration and linear coma are corrected (i.e. the Abbe Sine Condition) in an aplanatic optical system which besides diffraction-limited axial imagery, tend to be less sensitive to misalignments. In general this can be accomplished by

Optical waveguide devices typically have dimensions transverse to the main propagation direction on the order of a fraction of a millimeter and therefore, cannot be modeled by ray or beam tracing techniques. In this small domain, numerical solutions

Variations of Monte Carlo ray tracing are the most popular techniques for computing stray light in optical systems. The simplest and easiest to implement version doesn’t require ray splitting so what an incident ray becomes at each interaction is d

Given two points at opposite ends of a sequence of optical surfaces, simultaneously determine the points on each surface of the ray (i.e. path) that connects them. Computationally, this requires repeated solving of symmetric tridiagonal or banded-dia

Previous research on optical surface scatter either assumed for the ACV (Auto-Covariance function) a simple analytical but unrealistic Gaussian form or depended on intensive numerical integrations. Measurements of polished optical surfaces indicate t

Proposed twenty-five years ago specifically for stray light computations, a general BRDF model that automatically enforces continuity, positivity, reciprocity, and isotropic surface symmetry over all possible input/output directions has been implemen

The fastest, most robust, general technique for non-sequentially ray-tracing a large class of imaging and non-imaging optical systems is by geometric modeling with algebraic (i.e. polynomial) implicit surfaces. The basic theory of these surfaces with

Biconic surfaces are regular conics in the two orthogonal profiles. Various representations and generalizations differ in how they smoothly blend the profiles together. After comparing several of these, they are applied to the design of an anamorphic
