Freeform optics are lenses or mirrors with surfaces having no rotational symmetry. They were conceived more than a century ago, but have recently received new attention for solving design problems. The special methods needed to manufacture them have

High density digital sensors combined with "digital zooming" have eliminated the need for many small magnification range zoom lenses. Instead, lens designers now must design and assess zoom lenses for ever-increasing magnification ranges. The number

A visually striking image phenomenon has been noticed during mechanical abrasion of a plane nickel optical surface. After the lap was removed and the surface was cleaned, two clear ghost images of the absent lap were visible in full detail, in each o

An efficient photographic shutter is one which can open and close in small fractions of the exposure time, and this property is generally thought desirable. But no one combination of f/stop and time in an efficient shutter can match the subjective qu

Monitoring of high-volume lens manufacture for Polaroid Land photography requires an acceptance criterion that is both relevant to picture quality and suitable for automatic testing. In a hardware test based upon the modulation transfer function (MTF

Ground glass used for camera focus screens often has far from optimum diffusion properties. An analysis of the function of the focus screen shows that a screen with random (Gaussian) diffusion properties can be constructed with both brightness and fo

Reflection spectra are presented for artificial cumulus clouds with a progression of droplet sizes, including sizes common in natural clouds, over the wavelength range from 1.0 micro to 2.4 micro. A correction is made for gaseous absorption. The spec

Sections of nonrotational aspheric surfaces can be useful in a variety of optical situations. In several examples, image-forming objectives, as for photographic or electronic camera products, are described in which suitably located asymmetric pairs o

In the period from 1973 through 1992, Polaroid introduced six different free-form aspheric optical surfaces in some unusually innovative instant photographic cameras, made in the millions. In each case these peculiar components were used to solve unu
