Lens design is an exciting and important field of optics. This field provides designs for a great diversity of lens and mirror systems needed in many other fields, such as consumer optics, microscope optics, telescope optics, lenses for optical lithography, and photographic optics. Lens and mirror systems are ubiquitous. The work of a lens designer is to provide the constructional data and fabrication tolerances of all the optical elements that a given lens system requires to perform the intended function. Currently many students and engineers are interested in lens design because the field by itself is of great interest, or because they have the need to analyze and design lens systems required in their engineering practice. An optical engineer should have at least some familiarity with how a lens system is designed so that he or she can effectively contribute to develop optical systems.
