Last year we presented the first experimental measurements of the dispersion in GRADIUMTM glasses. These measurements provided a glimpse into the materials properties that had previously been approximated. Unfortunately, although these valuable measu

We describe a novel method of determining potentially successful starting designs by utilizing an expert systems algorithm which operates on a database of previously well-designed optical systems. The database is composed of systems created by a `not

Using a versatile command line interface one ASAP module (RABET) can simulate virtually any optical effect in any imaginable 3D geometry. Another module (GALOP) is a less powerful but easier-to-use layout and optimization code with an entirely graphi

The wavefront variance merit function is constructed with aberration orders identified and partitioned. The partitioned merit function topographies of three optical systems are examined. 1. INTRODUCFION The study of the behavior of individual wavefro

Using a laser interferometric method described elsewhere,1 we report on isothermal dimensional stability of the following materials: Invar, Super Invar, Kovar, molybdenum, TZM, elkonite, Al2O3, Si3N4, SiC, copper, fused silica (quartz), TiAlV, Kovar/

A laser interferometer was used to monitor thermally induced length changes in samples of Cer-Vit 101 and 142 between discrete temperatures in the 250–450 K range. The Cer-Vit 101 was then irradiated with a γ-ray 132Cs source for 37 days, and the

Merit functions used in optical design are almost always extremely nonlinear in their behavior with respect to optical system parameters. This prevents the existing optimization algorithms from necessarily converging on the global minimum. They conve

We report simultaneous excitation of at least 19 transverse modes of a curved‐plate, degenerate, Fabry–Perot resonator. The usefulness of spanning large free spectral ranges by means of transverse mode excitation is described.

Some problems caused by birefringence in dielectric mirrors are discussed with emphasis on the effects in laser cavities. Polarization sensitive applications are considered.
