Optical systems that do not have axial symmetry can provide useful and unique solutions to certain imaging problems. However, the complexity of the optical design task grows as the degrees of symmetry are reduced and lost: there are more aberration terms to control, and achieving a sharp image over a wide field-of-view at fast optical speeds becomes challenging. Plane-symmetric optical systems represent a large family of practical non-axially symmetric systems that are simple enough to be easily described and thus are well understood. Design methodologies and aberration theory of plane-symmetric optical systems have been discussed in the literature, and various interesting solutions have been reported [1-4]. The little discussed in the literature technique of confocal systems is effective for the design of unsymmetrical optics. A confocal unsymmetrical system is constructed in such a way that there is sharp image along a given ray (called the optical axis ray (OAR)) surface after surface. It is possible to show that such a system can have a reduced number of field aberrations, and that the system will behave closer to an axially symmetric system [5-6]. In this paper, we review a methodology for the design of unsymmetrical optical systems. We utilize an aspherical/freeform surface constructed by superposition of a conic expressed in a coordinate system that is centered on the off-axis surface segment rather than centered on the axis of symmetry, and an XY polynomial. The conic part of the aspherical/freeform surface describes the base shape that is required to achieve stigmatic imaging surface after surface along the OAR. The XY polynomial adds a more refined shape description to the surface sag and provides effective degrees of freedom for higher-order aberration correction. This aspheric/freeform surface profile is able to best model the ideal reflective surface and to allow one to intelligently approach the optical design. Examples of two- and threemirror unobscured wide field-of-view reflective systems are provided to show how the methods and corresponding aspheric/freeform surface are applied. We also demonstrate how the method can be extended to design a monolithic freeform objective.

In the past few years, the demand for telecommunications services beyond voice telephony has skyrocketed. For the growth of these services to continue at this rate, cost effective means of transporting and switching large amounts of information must be found. Although fiber optic transmission has significantly reduced the cost of transmission, switching high bandwidth signals remains expensive. While all electronic switching systems are certainly possible for these high bandwidth systems, considerable effort has been expended to reduce the cost of fiber optic connections between frames or racks of equipment separated by several meters. As an example, one can envision fiber-optic data links connecting the line units that receive and transmit data from the outside world with an electronic switching fabric. Optical data links, ODLs, can perform the optical to electrical conversions. Several of these optical data links can be electrically connected with electronic switching chips on a printed circuit board. As the demand for bandwidth increases, several hundred to several thousand optical fibers might be incident on the switching fabric. Discrete optical data links and parallel data links with up to 32 fibers per data link remain an expensive solution to transporting this information due to their per-link cost, physical size, and power dissipation. Power dissipation on the switching chips is high because of the need for electronic drivers for the high speed electrical interconnections between the switching chips and the data links. By integrating the O/E conversions directly onto the switching chips, lower cost and higher density systems can be built. In this paper, we describe preliminary results of an experimental optoelectronic switching network based on this lower cost solution. The network is designed to be part of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network based on the Growable Packet Architecture. The switching chip consists of GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well modulators and detectors flip- chip bonded to silicon VLSI circuitry. The optical system images the inputs from a two dimensional fiber bundle onto the switching chip, provides optical fan-out of the signals from the fibers to the switching chip, and images the outputs from the chip onto the fiber bundle.

Course Instructor

SC1272: Mirror System Design with Freeform Surfaces

This course provides a primer in mirror system design using freeform surfaces. The course will be of interest to those engineers working with imaging systems which require the use of mirrors as lens systems may not be appropriate. A review of wave aberrations will be given, then a systematic methodology to design unobscured mirror systems will be presented, and a number of examples will be discussed. Ad-hoc freeform surfaces will be explained. The attendees should expect to obtain useful and practical knowledge in mirror system design. Some familiarity with optical design is required.
