An automated computational approach to the optical lens design of imaging systems promises to provide optimal solutions ...

An optical lens is a transparent optical component used to converge or diverge light emitted from a peripheral object. The transmitted light rays then form a real or virtual image of the object.

The June 2007 update to Zemax from Zemax Development (Bellevue, USA) offers improved lens design, illumination, laser-beam propagation, stray-light analysis and freeform optical design. One of the ...

Future VR headsets could use a new type of lens inspired by holographic devices. The bilayer bifocal lens relies on external ...

Fresnel lenses are specialized optical components with grooved surfaces instead of traditional curved ones. Owing to their unique design, Fresnel lenses are thin and lightweight, typically have short ...

NiSi is releasing a limited-edition 5 prime cinema lens kit packed with character – and you won't believe the price!

Engineering is all about trade-offs, and that’s especially true in VR headset design. Pancake lenses are compact units that rely on polarization to bounce light around internally, resulting in a ...

Design-wise, the HYPE sunglasses feature a squared shape with dual lenses that offer a wide field-of-vision. KOO uses ...

An automated computational approach to the optical lens design of imaging systems promises to provide optimal solutions without human intervention, slashing the time and cost usually required.

All zoom lenses in film cameras and digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are optical zoom. Digital point-and-shoot cameras as well as consumer and prosumer video camcorders have optical zoom ...
