Abstract

We describe a program for the design and evaluation of acircular lens systems embedded in anisotropic planar waveguides. The program computes ray- and wave optical characteristics of such lens systems and it optimises lens pa- rameters for merit functions obtained from the tracing of anisotropic rays. Its optimisation branch uses an algorithm that embeds the usual optimisation loop into a cycle that modifies the weights of the different field points in the merit function according to a special scheme. This procedure enables the designer to produce nearly uniform spot quality (RMS spot size or RMS OPD) over the whole image field.
