Optical Theory

Dynamic optical is a theory which we can deduce the object-image conjugated rations of optical system by researching motion group in optical system. It can unify various formula and methods of optical system which have motion group. Zoom system is a typical dynamic optical system. This paper will discuss how to apply the dynamic optical theory to zoom system design. With dynamic optical theory, we can derive the image motion compensating formula and the trace curve of the image motion compensating group. The cam can be fabricated according to compensating curve, which can ensure the stabilization of image plane and keep imaging quality. Moreover, a example of 30× zoom system is presented, which proves that the dynamic optical theory has some practicability for zoom system design.

The Individual

A remote optical sensing system, employing a self-scanning photodiode array, is described, and its operation is demonstrated for measurements of rapid dimensional changes in contracting smooth muscle preparations. The single-line sensor array, a commercially available charge-coupled device integrated circuit, with 256 elements at 25-microns intervals, is mounted in the image plane of an optical system focused on a backlit test object. The amplitude profile of each scan is proportional to the illumination reaching the individual sensory elements. Auxilliary circuitry generates a raster of successive scan lines on the face of a storage oscilloscope. Spatial and temporal information about the target and its motions may be derived from the displayed raster scan. Performance is illustrated using an artificial target and a muscle fiber bearing opaque markers. Successive lines may be scanned in as briefly as 5 ms (at 10-ms intervals) or in as long as 50 ms (at 1-s intervals). Each raster may contain up to 256 lines, although not all of the lines need to be displayed. The spatial resolution is determined by the photodiode spacing in the sensory array and by the magnitude of the optical system in use; as described here, the resolution is on the order of 0.2 mm for a 20-mm scan length.

And Performance

The resolution and performance of an optical system can be characterized by a quantity known as the modulation transfer function (MTF), which is a measurement of an optical system’s ability to transfer contrast from the specimen to the intermediate image plane at a specific resolution. Accordingly, this study employs skew ray tracing based on a 4 × 4 homogeneous coordinate transformation matrix and Snell’s law to develop a detailed methodology for determining the spot diagram on the image plane when light rays pass through the optical system. And the authors present calculations of the MTF of an optical system by using the spot diagram on the image plane. The numerical results of the proposed methodology are demonstrated using a symmetrical optical system.
