Design And Fabrication Of High Performance Relay Lenses

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of high performance doublets and triplets for relay lens applications. A Relay. Lens by definition is simply a lens or lens system used to transfer a real image from one section of an optical system to another. This same lens form can of course be used as an objective lens. The design guidelines for these lenses are as follows: A. λ/5 on axis for the completed lens assembly. B. Lens mounting to be as simple as possible e.g., lens mounted. directly into a lens barrel C. Overall cost important - lens must be assembled in somewhat of a production atmos phere.
