Telecentric and Broadband Achromatic Objective Lens Systems and Method of Use in Optical Coherence Tomography for the Metrology of Freeform Optical Components
ProblemThe application of optical coherence tomography for the metrology of freeform optical components requires objective lens systems that are highly telecentric and broadband achromatic.SolutionTo meet these requirements, two new objective lens designs are invented: a large field-of-view objective, and a large numerical aperture objective. Specifications...

Optical design method and solutions of linear-in-k spectrometers exhibiting extremely low residual nonlinearity
Background A spectrometer is an optical instrument used to measure the intensity of light by wavelength, or wavenumber (k). A conventional spectrometer has intrinsic nonlinearity in k over the pixels due to the nonlinear angular dispersion in k corresponding to the grating or prism used. For spectrometers used in spectral domain optical coherence tomography...

Cascade Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography for the Metrology of Optical Components Including Freeform
ProblemRecent advances in deterministic grinding and polishing of optical quality surfaces have enabled the manufacturing of optical components with increasingly more complex surface shapes. Rotationally variant, i.e. freeform, optical components are of increasing interest to the optical design community as they allow for substantial advances in optical...

maging spectrometer with freeform surfaces
"Expanded performance opportunities for imaging spectrometers are described using ϕ-polynomial freeform surfaces in reflective and diffractive optics. The imaging spectrometers are generally of a type that include an entrance aperture for admitting radiation over a range of wavelengths, a detector array, a primary reflective optic with optical...

Freeform and Nanostructured Surfaces Based Augmented Reality Sunglass Display
A near eye display includes at least one of a combiner, a secondary mirror, and a waveguide having a freeform nanostructured surface. The freeform nanostructured surface encompasses a freeform surface, a nanostructured surface or a combination of both the freeform surface and the nanostructured surface. The freeform nanostructured surface can be incorporated...

Compact, Fast, Large Field of View, Three-Mirror Imager and Modular Test Apparatus for Phi-Polynomial Surfaces
Applications: The technology could be used as a long wave infrared imaging system that can have a compact geometry while providing a superior focal ratio and field of view then those of existing imagers of similar size. It also has the potential to be scaled and used for larger systems or in multiple wavelength band instruments.Advantages: Current long...

Dual-Detection of Phase for Full Range Doppler OCT
A dual detection technique for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) preserves the phase information in the acquired spectra by the retrieval of quadrature components of the complex interferometric signal. A rotatable non-polarizing beam splitter cube provides the required p/2 phase shifted interference signal.ApplicationsOptical coherence tomography (OCT)...
