Abstract

Achieving ever higher performance levels in optical design does not always require going to more cost and/or complexity in the designs. Often it is possible to make major performance improvements by (1) looking for alternate solutions with the same (or fewer) number of elements while (2) questioning assumptions that have crept in at the very beginning of the design process, and by utilizing little-known exceptions to general rules and principles.
