WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze: Continue to optimize the optical system on Zemax (obtaining better FTM curves). Design poster layout.

Friday, 22 Dec.

WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze: Optimized the MFT curve and achieved good results when the STOP radius was 9 mm.

LIN Chen and SUN Yimeng: We tried to optimizd the aberrations using corresponding operands.  tried to ensure that the total length of the system was reasonable.

Thursday, 21 Dec. Afternoon

WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze: The MFT curve was optimized and achieved good results when the STOP radius was 8mm, but the results were not ideal when the STOP radius was 10mm.

LIN Chen: I adjusted the lens to an object telecentric configuration and optimized it.

CHEN Jiaqi and SUN Yimeng : We tried to figure out the problem of the binary phase but didn't succeed.  focus on the cubic phase mask.  optimized the value alpha of the cubic phase mask to minimize the average MSE.

Thursday, 21 Dec. Morning

CHEN Jiaqi and SUN Yimeng : We modified the definition of the binary phase mask to make the MES curve symmetrical, however the MTF curve shows that the binary phase mask make things worse.

WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze: Optimized the MFT curve with a STOP radius of 6mm and achieved good results.

LIN Chen: I started my design with a double Gauss lens closed to the specifications and analyzed the aberrations in order to write corresponding merit function.

Wednesday, 20 Dec. Afternoon

WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze: Continue to optimize the system’s chromatic aberration and field curvature

LIN Chen: I continue to optimize the scaled lens, but it is difficult to reach the diffraction limit while ensuring that the structure is realisable.

CHEN Jiaqi and SUN Yimen: We plotted the modulation transfer function and compared the situation with the phase mask to the situation without the phase mask. We got satisfying curve for the cubic phase mask. But for the binary phase mask, the MSE curve is not symmetrical for some reason.

Wednesday, 20 Dec. Morning

CHEN Jiaqi and SUN Yimen: We corrected the error in the normalization of the PSF. We corrected the errors in the calculation of MSE. It seems that we have got the satisfying MSE curve for cubic and binary phase mask.

WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze: Try to change some lenses from spherical to parabolic to optimize aberrations.

LIN Chen: For the part of optical system design, we study 2 structures. My structure doesn't satisfy the diameter of STOP, and I tried to scale lens. However, the total length and the diameter of spot-diagramme increased.

Tuesday, 19 Dec. Afternoon

LIN Chen, WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze: Designed a afocal system (double telecentric lens) that meets the requirements and tried to optimise the aberration; also searched for relevant literature to gain a deeper understanding of the system structure

SUN Yimeng and CHEN Jiaqi: We corrected some errors in the program but the result is still confusing. Then we focus on the case of the binary phase mask. We rewrite some expressions and functions to make it more clear. We plotted the evolution of MSE of the binary phase mask case, but it's more confusing. 

Tuesday, 19 Dec. Morning

WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze: Tried a variety of lens material combinations to find the optimal lens combination

LIN Chen: Search an initial design of double telecentric lens.

SUN Yimeng and CHEN Jiaqi: We tried to correct the expressions in the process of Wiener Filter in order to restore the blurred image in the cubic phase mask case. We plotted the evolution of MSE as a function of the defocus. But the curve we got was far from what we expected.

Monday, 18 Dec. Afternoon

LIN Chen and WEI Xinyue try to design a lens that is telecentric in object space using THORLABS achromatic doublet.

SUN Yimeng and CHEN Jiaqi: Wrote the approximate expression of binary phase and tried to make it work in the simulation process which is similar to the case of cubic phase mask. But the restored image is still blurred.

Monday, 18 Dec. Morning

LIN Chen, WEI Xinyue and XIE Yunze try to create a initial design of afocal  camera objective

SUN Yimeng and CHEN Jiaqi: We reorganize our thinking of this project.  We check the previous code and corrected some errors.
