Reducing Refractive Index Variations in Compression Molded Lenses by Annealing
Compression molding of glass optics is gradually becoming a viable fabrication technique for high precision optical lenses. However, refractive index variation was observed in compression molded glass lenses, which would contribute to image quality degradation. In this research, annealing experiments were applied to control the refractive index variation in molded glass lenses. The refractive i...
متن کاملEvolution of graded refractive index in squid lenses.
A lens with a graded refractive index is required for vision in aquatic animals with camera-type eyes. This optical design entails a radial gradient of protein density, with low density in external layers and high density in internal layers. To maintain the optical stability of the eye, different material properties are required for proteins in different regions of the lens. In low-density regi...
متن کاملCompression Molding of Refractive and Diffractive Hybrid Glass Lenses
INTRODUCTION Refractive and diffractive hybrid lenses have been designed and implemented for some industrial applications. These optical elements however are limited to low volume production or specific materials such as polymers. Although plastic lenses can be fabricated using injection molding into different geometries at high volume, these optics do not perform well under rigorous conditions...
متن کاملOrigami with negative refractive index to generate super-lenses.
Negative refractive index materials (NRIM) enable unique effects including superlenses with a high degree of sub-wavelength image resolution, a capability that stems from the ability of NRIM to support a host of surface plasmon states. Using a generalized lens theorem and the powerful tools of transformational optics, a variety of focusing configurations involving complementary positive and neg...
