Rudolf Kingslake is regarded as the American father of lens
design; his book, not revised since its publication in 1978, is
viewed as a classic in the field. Naturally, the area has developed
considerably since the book was published, the most obvious changes
being the availability of powerful lens design software packages,
theoretical advances, and new surface fabrication technologies.
This book provides the skills and knowledge to move into the
exciting world of contemporary lens design and develop practical
lenses needed for the great variety of 21st-century applications.
Continuing to focus on fundamental methods and procedures of lens
design, this revision by R. Barry Johnson of a classic modernizes
symbology and nomenclature, improves conceptual clarity, broadens
the study of aberrations, enhances discussion of multi-mirror
systems, adds tilted and decentered systems with eccentric pupils,
explores use of aberrations in the optimization process, enlarges
field flattener concepts, expands discussion of image analysis,
includes many new exemplary examples to illustrate concepts, and
much more.
Optical engineers working in lens design will find this book an
invaluable guide to lens design in traditional and emerging areas
of application; it is also suited to advanced undergraduate or
graduate course in lens design principles and as a self-learning
tutorial and reference for the practitioner.
Rudolf Kingslake (1903-2003) was a founding faculty member of
the Institute of Optics at The University of Rochester (1929) and
remained teaching until 1983. Concurrently, in 1937 he became head
of the lens design department at Eastman Kodak until his retirement
in 1969. Dr. Kingslake published numerous papers, books, and was
awarded many patents. He was a Fellow of SPIE and OSA, and an OSA
President (1947-48). He was awarded the Progress Medal from SMPTE
(1978), the Frederic Ives Medal (1973), and the Gold Medal of SPIE
(1980).
R. Barry Johnson has been involved for over 40 years in lens
design, optical systems design, and electro-optical systems
engineering. He has been a faculty member at three academic
institutions engaged in optics education and research, co-founder
of the Center for Applied Optics at the University of Alabama in
Huntsville, employed by a number of companies, and provided
consulting services. Dr. Johnson is an SPIE Fellow and Life Member,
OSA Fellow, and an SPIE President (1987). He published numerous
papers and has been awarded many patents. Dr. Johnson was founder
and Chairman of the SPIE Lens Design Working Group (1988-2002), is
an active Program Committee member of the International Optical
Design Conference, and perennial co-chair of the annual SPIE
Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering
Conference.
