Abstract: This talk will be a fast paced journey through many interesting and revealing aspects of optical system design. We will introduce you to some of the many fascinating and important subtleties of our field, and you will learn why optical design is in many cases both a science and an art. Some of the topics to be discussed: Image degradations or aberrations, what they are and how to get rid of them.
As a special feature, Bob, a member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, will treat you to his favorite magical illusions along the way, many of which are true classics of magic. Bio: Robert E. Fischer holds a BS and MS in Optics from the University of Rochester. Mr. Fischer?s technical interests are in optical system design and engineering, in particular lens design. He is also interested in optical component and system manufacturing, assembly, and testing. His interests extend from the deep UV through the visible and on to the thermal infrared.An inventor holding five patents (with others pending), Mr. Fischer is also an author and short course instructor teacher. Mr. Fischer?s recent book Optical System Design, published by McGraw-Hill in 2000, is in its second printing. Mr. Fischer is a Past President of SPIE (1984). He has also served as Editor of SPIE?s monthly newspaper OE Reports for 15 years. Additionally, Fischer has authored numerous technical papers covering a wide range of subjects in the field of optics. He has also chaired many SPIE conferences relating to optical design and engineering in the U.S. and Europe including that has been part of the Annual Meeting for nearly 10 years. Fischer was also Technical Program Chair of the 1980 International Lens Design Conference. Since 1978 Fischer has taught SPIE short courses on optical design and engineering, optical design for the infrared, optics for head mounted displays, and in other related topics. Fischer also has chaired and served on SPIE committees including the Symposia Committee, Membership Committee, Scholarship Committee, Awards Committee, and the Presidents Advisory Committee. He is currently Treasurer of SPIE. Robert E. Fischer was awarded the SPIE Gold Medal for the year 2000, the Society?s highest technical honor. And in 1986 he won the SPIE Albert M. Pezzuto Award for exceptional leadership and service to the society. He is also a Fellow and Life Member of SPIE and a Fellow of the OSA. |
