Book excerpt: Gradient Index Optics deals with the application of gradients in optical systems of classical types: gradient index lenses. The emphasis is on the theory and practice related to gradient index lenses. Only isotropic media are considered since they are the ones for which the refractive index at each point is independent of direction. Comprised of 12 chapters, this book begins with a historical background on the use of gradients in astronomy and developments in gradient index lenses, along with the underlying basic theory. The discussion then turns to spherical gradients, paying particular attention to rays, Maxwell's fisheye lens, the Luneburg lens, and astronomical refraction. Subsequent chapters focus on the ray trace in a spherical gradient; axial gradients and their use as an anti-reflection coating; radial gradients and ray tracing in a radial gradient; and fundamentals of aberration theory. The wood lens and ray trace in a general medium are also considered, together with methods for fabrication of gradient elements and measurement of index gradients using an approximate method and interferometric methods. This monograph will be of interest to physicists.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Freeform gradient-index (F-GRIN) optics present new opportunities for high performance optical systems with compact geometries. As a type of freeform optic, F-GRIN is similar in many ways to freeform surfaces but with different functionality that can be leveraged for unique optical influence. F-GRIN has only recently been introduced due to advancements in the fabrication of arbitrary refractive index distributions such as via additive manufacturing. As a result, countless design spaces are now accessible that require investigation to determine the strengths and weakness of F-GRIN in optical design for both imaging and illumination. Of particular interest are the ways in which F-GRIN can reduce the size and weight of conventional optical systems. In this work, F-GRIN is studied in four different design spaces, three for imaging and one for illumination, with the focus of achieving new system geometries and novel optical functionality. First, annular folded lenses are designed using FGRIN for its unique color correcting properties in a compact, monolithic catadioptric system.Second, GRIN Alvarez lenses (GALs) are introduced and analyzed for their power variation and performance. GALs are then applied to the design of a zoom riflescope where it is demonstrated that a reduction in system length is achievable. Third, the unique field flattening capability of F-GRIN cover glass is studied, offering potential reduction in imaging system complexity. Fourth, the illumination optical design considers the inverse problem of generating a prescribed radiance distribution using a piecewise-continuous F-GRIN with plane-parallel surfaces. For any application of F-GRIN, adequate volumetric refractive index metrology is required for practical and producible designs. Currently, non-destructive F-GRIN metrology is in a premature state, and significant obstacles remain to be solved before an accurate and precise technique is developed. A central challenge is the algorithm needed to reconstruct a volume of three-dimensional (3D) refractive index variation from a series of independent measurements. In this work, a 3D GRIN modal reconstruction technique is described for non-destructively obtaining volumetric refractive index information. Formatted as a tomography problem, multi-angular transmitted phase data are used to infer the GRIN volume. The reconstruction process is applicable to media with strong gradients and does not rely on the presence of scattering or diffraction."--Pages xii-xiii.

Download or read book Design and Fabrication of Large Diameter Gradient-index Lenses for Dual-band Visible to Short-wave Infrared Imaging Applications written by Anthony Visconti and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The fabrication of gradient-index (GRIN) optical elements is quite challenging, which has traditionally restricted their use in many imaging systems; consequently, commercial-level GRIN components usually exist in one particular market or niche application space. One such fabrication technique, ion exchange, is a well-known process used in the chemical strengthening of glass, the fabrication of waveguide devices, and the production of small diameter GRIN optical relay systems. However, the manufacturing of large diameter ion-exchanged GRIN elements has historically been limited by long diffusion times. For example, the diffusion time for a 20 mm diameter radial GRIN lens in commercially available ion exchange glass for small diameter relays, is on the order of a year. The diffusion time can be dramatically reduced by addressing three key ion exchange process parameters; the composition of the glass, the diffusion temperature, and the composition of the salt bath. Experimental work throughout this thesis aims to (1) scale up the ion exchange diffusion process to 20 mm diameters for a fast-diffusing titania silicate glass family in both (2) sodium ion for lithium ion (Na+ for Li+) and lithium ion for sodium ion (Li+ for Na+) exchange directions, while (3) utilizing manufacturing friendly salt bath compositions. In addition, optical design studies have demonstrated that an important benefit of gradient-index elements in imaging systems is the added degree of freedom introduced with a gradient's optical power. However, these studies have not investigated the potential usefulness of GRIN materials in dual-band visible to short-wave infrared (vis-SWIR) imaging systems. The unique chromatic properties of the titania silicate ion exchange glass become a significant degree of freedom in the design process for these color-limited, broadband imaging applications. A single GRIN element can replace a cemented doublet or even a cemented triplet, without loss in overall system performance. In this work, a polychromatic vis-SWIR gradient-index design model is constructed based on the homogeneous material properties of the titania silicate ion exchange glass. This model is verified by measuring the dispersion of fabricated GRIN profiles across the vis-SWIR spectrum. Finally, the polychromatic GRIN design model is implemented into commercial design software and several design studies are presented which validate the beneficial chromatic properties of the titania silicate GRIN material. In addition, system-level tolerancing with gradient-index elements is a largely unexplored area. This work introduces new methods and techniques for incorporating GRIN manufacturing errors directly into the design and tolerancing analysis of a multi-element optical system. These methods allow for the optical engineer to utilize manufacturable GRIN profiles throughout the design process and to better predict the final performance of an as-built system. Based on these techniques, a true design-for-manufacture high-performance eyepiece, utilizing a spherical gradient-index element, is designed, toleranced, and commissioned for build."--Pages viii-ix.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gradient-index (GRIN) materials have an index of refraction that varies as a function of position. Compared to traditional homogeneous optical elements, the new degrees of freedom that are available with a GRIN optical element, especially the chromatic dispersion, are very beneficial in the design of broadband imaging systems. GRIN materials allow the optical designer to improve the performance of an imaging system, or, to maintain the performance and decrease the size, weight, and/or number of elements. However, there are many challenges in the design, fabrication, and metrology of GRIN optical elements. This thesis develops a general gradient-index material model that is used to represent real and theoretical GRIN materials. The model allows for analyzing the chromatic properties of GRIN materials in a way that is familiar to the optical designer. It also serves as a framework for constraining the chromatic properties of GRIN materials during the optimization of index of refraction profiles in lens design software. The model and optimization constraints are used in design studies in the 1-5 m infrared spectral band and 350-360 nm near-ultraviolet spectral band. These design studies demonstrate the ability of GRIN elements to improve the performance of an optical system or reduce the size, weight, and/or number of elements compared to homogeneous designs. A diffusion model with a composition-dependent diffusion coefficient is developed for fabricating gradient-index aluminum oxynitride (ALON). A method for using the diffusion model to fabricate deterministic GRIN profiles is presented. Finally, non-destructive metrology methods for the characterization of gradient-index lens blanks are investigated. Two methods are developed for determining the orientation of an axial GRIN distribution within a lens blank and these techniques are applied to a fabricated polymer GRIN blank. Improvements are made to a beam deflection technique for non-destructive characterization of one-dimensional gradient-index profiles. An automated deflectometer instrument is constructed and used to measure polychromatic index of refraction profiles of a polymer GRIN sample in order to determine the Abbe number of the gradient."--Pages vi-vii.
