In our last post we started the optimization process in Zemax on a wide angle lens. In this post we will continue the optimization...

In our last post “Selection of a Starting Point Part II” we showed how to take the starting point lens design and modify it to make it...

How long does a custom lens take? Of course, the easy (and worst) answer is: it depends! But you know that and you're hoping to get ANY...

Part II: In our last post Selection of a Starting Point Part I we walked through how the optical engineer selects a lens type using the...

Part 1 Once the specifications have been decided the optical engineer can begin the design. In this post we will be using the...

This is the second post in the series "Lens Design Process with Zemax". To view the first post click here. The lens design process starts...

This is the first of a series of posts on the lens design process we utilize at Optica for all of our lens designs. This process has been...

When we design optical systems we like to write the merit function to include constraints that will make the lens more manufacturable....

One of the most asked questions about custom camera lens design and manufacturing: How much will it cost?
