Optics

Molded OpticsDesign andManufactureMichael Schaub, Jim Schwiegerling, Eric Fest, R. Hamilton Shepard,and Alan SymmonsWhile several available texts discuss molded plasticoptics, none provide information on all classes ofmolded optics. Filling this gap, Molded Optics pres-ents detailed descriptions of molded plastic, glass, andinfrared optics. Since an understanding of the manu-facturing process is necessary to develop cost-effec-tive, producible designs, the book extensively coversvarious manufacturing methods, design guidelines,trade-offs, best practices, and testing of critical param-eters. It also discusses topics that often arise whendesigning systems with molded optics, such as miti-gating stray light and mating systems by eye.

The authors draw on their considerable knowledgeand real-world experiences to give a thoroughaccount of the design and manufacture of moldedplastic, glass, and infrared optics. The book will helpreaders improve their ability to develop systems thatemploy molded optics.

• Covers all molded optics, not just injectionmolded plastic optics

• Enables a detailed understanding of the manu-facturing processes and methods used to pro-duce molded optics—critical to the design anddevelopment of a successful molded optical sys-tem

• Discusses visual optics and stray light, which areoften overlooked during the design of opticalsystems and can be important considerations forsystems using molded optics
