Recent progress of AI in lens design (Conference Presentation)

Data-driven methods to assist lens design have recently begun to emerge; in particular, under the form of lens design extrapolation to find starting points (lenses and freeform reflective system). I proposed a trip over the years to better understand why the AI have been applied first to the starting point problems and where we are going in the future. In this talk, we will explore to most recent progress applications of DNN in optical and lens design. We will also show some working example and discuss the future.
