Automatic Lens Design: Further Notes for Optical Engineers

Berlyn Brixner

This paper, supplementing an earlier one, details a method of designing lenses by computer. Aimed at instrument designers, it passes on suggestions for selecting the starting lens, choosing the designing program, proceeding with machine designing, evaluating construction tolerances and evaluating lens resolution. It discusses boundary conditions and describes the steps taken in designing an actual successful lens.
