Optical Systems Design

Optical systems design involves creating devices that manipulate light to achieve specific functions, like cameras, microscopes, or lenses. It considers factors such as how light travels, how it can be focused, and what materials to use to achieve the desired image quality or optical effect. Designers use principles of physics and engineering to optimize performance, including factors like clarity, brightness, and distortion. The goal is to maximize the system’s efficiency and effectiveness for its intended application, whether that's capturing images, magnifying objects, or conducting scientific research.
