This study presents an 8x four-group inner-focus zoom lens with one-moving group for a compact camera by use of a focus tunable lens (FTL). In the initial design stage, we obtained the powers of lens groups by paraxial design based on thin lens theory, and then set up the zoom system composed of four lens modules. Instead of numerically analytic analysis for the zoom locus, we suggest simple analysis for that using lens modules optimized. After replacing four groups with equivalent thick lens modules, the power of the fourth group, which includes a focus tunable lens, is designed to be changed to fix the image plane at all positions. From this design process, we can realize an 8x four-group zoom system having one moving group by employing a focus tunable lens. The final designed zoom lens has focal lengths of 4 mm to 32 mm and apertures of F/3.5 to F/4.5 at wide and tele positions, respectively.

This study presents a new design method for a zoom lens, in which real lens groups are designed successively to combine to form a lens modules zoom system. The lens modules and aberrations are applied to the initial design for a four-group inner-focus zoom system. An initial design with a focal length range of 4.2 to 39.9 mm is derived by assigning the first-order quantities and third-order aberrations to each module along with the constraints required for optimum solutions. After obtaining the lens module zoom system, the real lens groups are successively, not separately, designed to get a zoom lens system. Compared to the separately designed real lens groups, this approach can give a better starting zoom lens and save time. The successively designed groups result in a zoom system that satisfies the basic properties of the zoom system consisting of the original lens modules. In order to have a slim system, we directly inserted the right-angle prism in front of the first group. This configuration resulted in a compact zoom system with a depth of 12 mm. The finally designed zoom lens has an f-number of 3.5 to 4.5 and is expected to fulfill the requirements for a mobile zoom camera having high zoom ratio of 10x.

In order to design the aspherical lens, the revisions and the steps of the mathematical method are influenced with a lot of variables. The accuracy of the aspherical lens can be changed by these variables. Besides, to design the aspherical lens, many mathematical functions should be used. To use these mathematical functions is protected by patent administration. Therefore it is very difficult for most of developed countries to use them. This fact has been interrupting not only the development of the technique of a design of the aspherical lens but also the development of the equipments of optics. Because approximate values are used in most of common programs which create the aspherical lens : basically these common programs have variations. Therefore these aspherical lens are not accurate. In the paper, we calculated accurate values by using the refractive index of lens. Based on these data, wee created self-operating design programs. Consequently, our lens is more accurate than the aspherical lens which is created by the common programs influenced with approximate values. The used programs belonging to AutoCAD is Visual LISP.

This study presents the method of extracting shape design data on any aspheric lens by reverse engineering. The design formula fur aspheric lenses is needed in almost all of the design, manufacture and measuring processes. The difficulty in designing the lens lies in the fact that it uses a complex formula for the aspheric surface, and many of the preliminary design values must be selected before actually inserting them into the formula. If the values could be extracted from an aspheric lens for which the structural design information is unknown and used in designing other lenses of similar characteristics, the difficulties in designing and measuring aspheric lens could be reduced. Therefore, in this study, the concept of reverse engineering was applied to demonstrate the method of extracting shape design information of aspheric lens from an arbitrary aspheric lens.

The purpose of this paper is to design a pick-up for the small form factor optical disk drive and to fabricate a micro-compensatory lens for the pick-up using the micro-compression molding process. At design stage, the optical elements including the objective lens and the compensatory lens are miniaturized. The height of pick-up and free working distance are designed as 2mm and 0.2% respectively. To analyze the fabricated micro-compensatory lens, the system was analyzed using the surface profile of the fabricated micro-compensatory lens and CODE V which is commercial software. The RMS wave front aberration of the system using fabricated micro-compensatory lens is 0.01677λ which is lower than Marechal's criterion, 0.07λ.

$F{\theta}$ 렌즈는 레이저 프린터의 LSU(Laser Scanning Unit)의 중요 부품으로서 $F{\theta}$ 렌즈를 통과한 주사빔의 상 위치는 주사빔의 렌즈 입사각에 비례한다. 본 논문에서는 당사에서 개발한 A4 사이즈용 $F{\theta}$ 렌즈를 설계, 제작하고 보정하는 과정을 소개하였다. 렌즈 개발에서 광학설계는 Zemax를 사용하였고 주사빔의 주주사방향 및 부주사방향의 왜곡을 최소화 하기 위하여 렌즈면은 특수한 토릭면으로 하였다. 렌즈 금형은 1nm 의 분해능을 갖는 초정밀 가공기로 제작하였다. 렌즈 사출 후 성능을 평가하고 측정값과 설계값의 차이를 바탕으로 설계보정식을 유도하여 렌즈 금형을 수정하였다. 금형 수정 후 사출렌즈의 재측정 결과 초기 설계값에 가까운 성능을 확인하였다.

목적: 국내에서 시판되는 안경렌즈의 성능을 분석하고 최적화 설계로 수차가 보정된 안경렌즈를 설계하였다. 방법: 굴절률 1.6의 재질을 갖는 4개 회사의 ${\pm}$5.00D의 구면 렌즈와 비구면 렌즈의 중심두께, 곡률반경, 비구면 계수를 측정하였다. Mitutoyo사의 ID-F150으로 중심두께를 측정하였고, Automation Robotics사의 FOCOVISION(SR-2)를 이용하여 곡률반경을 측정하였다. 비구면 계수는 Taylor Hobson사의 PGI 1240S로 측정하였다. 렌즈 후면부터 눈의 회선점까지의 거리 27 mm, 동공직경 4 mm, 중심시야 $30^{\circ}$에서 적은 양의 수차를 갖는 안경렌즈를 설계하였다. 측정 렌즈보다 Axial height를 짧게 함으로써 미용 상의 이점을 높였다. 설계에는 ORA사의 Code V를 이용했다. 결과: -5.00D 비구면 렌즈는 구면 렌즈보다 비점수차와 왜곡수차는 약간 크게 나타났으나 Axial height가 짧고 가장자리 두께가 감소하여 미용 상의 장점이 있다. +5.00D 비구면 렌즈는 왜곡수차의 성능이 향상되고 (-)렌즈와 마찬가지로 Axial height와 중심두께의 감소로 미용 상의 장점을 확인하였다. 최적화 과정을 통한 전면 비구면 렌즈는 비점수차와 왜곡수차가 측정 구면 렌즈보다 좋은 성능과 미용 상의 장점을 확인할 수 있다. 결론: 국내에서 시판되는 비구면 렌즈는 수차의 성능보다는 미용 상의 장점을 키우는 Axial height의 감소와 두께의 감소에 주안점을 둔전면 비구면 설계가 이뤄지고 있다. 최적화 설계이론을 통해 측정렌즈보다 향상된 수차성능과 미용 상의 이점을 모두 갖는 전면 비구면 안경렌즈의 설계를 하였다. 후면 비구면 렌즈의 설계를 통해 전면 비구면 렌즈보다 향상된 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 기대할 수 있다.

In this research, the modification method of spherical aberration, and aspherical lens shape design method were investigated. Spherical aberration affects lens's performance directly. Many studies have attempted to remove spherical aberration with a lot of methods in order to reduce the bad effect of spherical aberration. The approach to lens shape design was base on the ray tracing method. From the result, it was confirmed that ray reverse-tracing method was convenient to remove spherical aberration, and could be used very effectively and usefully for aberration-free aspherical lens design.
