While several available texts discuss molded plastic optics, none
provide information on all classes of molded optics. Filling this
gap, Molded Optics: Design and Manufacture presents detailed
descriptions of molded plastic, glass, and infrared optics. Since
an understanding of the manufacturing process is necessary to
develop cost-effective, producible designs, the book extensively
covers various manufacturing methods, design guidelines,
trade-offs, best practices, and testing of critical parameters. It
also discusses topics that often arise when designing systems with
molded optics, such as mitigating stray light and mating systems by
eye. The first three chapters of the book focus on subjects
important to the design of systems using molded optics: optical
design, visual optics, and stray light. Following these background
chapters, the text provides in-depth information on the design and
manufacture of molded plastic optics, molded glass optics, and
molded infrared optics. The final chapter on testing emphasizes the
special characteristics of molded optics. Experts in their
particular areas, the authors draw on their considerable knowledge
and real-world experiences to give a thorough account of the design
and manufacture of molded plastic, glass, and infrared optics. The
book will help readers improve their ability to develop systems
that employ molded optics.

Molding processes continue to innovate and push the boundaries of
optical systems, not only for state-of-the-art, high-volume
consumer products but also touching on almost every application
where optics are used, from automotive headlights and medical
endoscopes to thermal weapon sights for the warfighter. The most
common optical molding technologies are injection molding of
optical plastics and precision glass molding. This Field Guide
primarily focuses on these two technologies but also covers the
full spectrum of optical molding. It provides a convenient and
concise source of knowledge on optical molding technologies and
will be a valuable addition to a publication base that is rather
limited.
Today's SWIR, MWIR, LWIR and multispectral technologies cover a
wide range of commercial and military applications and continue to
rapidly expand in almost every aspect of our lives. This Field
Guide focuses on the most common infrared crystals and glasses used
in these systems, from their manufacturing methods through modern
optical fabrication technologies to the end-use applications.
Detailed optical, crystallographic, mechanical, chemical, and
thermal properties of the most popular infrared materials are
reviewed in detail along with process flows and relative
comparisons. The Field Guide to Infrared Optical Materials provides
a concise and convenient resource for those interested in the
materials used in infrared optical systems
