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.

Stray light is defined as unwanted light in an optical system, a
familiar concept for anyone who has taken a photograph with the sun
in or near their camera's field of view. In a low-cost consumer
camera, stray light may be only a minor annoyance, but in a
space-based telescope, it can result in the loss of data worth
millions of dollars. It is imperative that optical system designers
understand its consequences on system performance and adapt the
design process to control it. This book addresses stray light
terminology, radiometry, and the physics of stray light mechanisms,
such as surface roughness scatter and ghost reflections. The
most-efficient ways of using stray light analysis software packages
are included. The book also demonstrates how the basic principles
are applied in the design, fabrication, and testing phases of
optical system development.
