Abstract

Optical designers are being asked to create designs that will perform over larger ranges of environmental conditions. This trend applies to compact aspheric lenses as well as other lens types. One potential athermalization strategy for compact aspheric lens design is to include at least one glass element in the mix of elements in the design. This is a well-known technique, but it leaves the lens designer with some questions. One might ask, are there some rules of thumb for using a glass element? We discuss that question in this paper and provide some potentially helpful guidance.
