The DeepLens design method is highly effective in creating both classical optical designs and an extended depth-of-field computational lens. An automated computational approach to the optical lens ...

A patent application shows that Canon is working on optimizing its optical lens design, creating new autofocus (AF) motor technology designed to make RF lenses smaller, faster and super quiet – all ...

Researchers from Seoul National University College of Engineering announced they have developed an optical design technology that dramatically reduces the volume of cameras with a folded lens system ...

Aspheres allow designers to build smaller, lighter and simpler optical systems, and can be found in everyday products. Edwin Diaz provides a back-to-basics guide to the technology. You may not realize ...

Imagine a lens less than a millimeter thick that can make 3D images float in mid-air. This could change how we see displays.

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...
