Disruptive innovation:the story of the fi rst digital cameraSteven Sasson, Retired, Eastman Kodak Co. (USA)

The creation of the fi rst digital camera prototype in 1975 at the Eastman Kodak Company will be discussed as well as how the concept was demonstrated within Kodak during the following year. Subsequent technical innovations with megapixel imagers, image compression products in the mid 1980’s, and the early commercialization of professional and consumer digital still cameras in the early 1990’s will be discussed. The internal Kodak reaction to these developments will be highlighted as well as some of the learned observations about how to deal with disruptive innovation within an established corporate environment will be shared.

Steven Sasson attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy N.Y. and in 1973; he graduated with a BS and a Masters degree in electrical engineering. During the summers of his college years (’68 –’73), he had several jobs that included being a “runner” on Wall Street (before Email!) After graduation Steven

joined Eastman Kodak Company as an electrical engineer working in an applied research laboratory. He engaged in a number of early digital imaging projects. Among these was the design and construction of the fi rst digital still camera and playback system in 1975. Steven continued to work throughout the 1980s in the emerging fi eld of digital photography receiving over 10 key digital imaging patents. In 1989 he led the development of the fi rst prototype mega pixel electronic digital camera utilizing DCT compression that stored images to fl ash memory cards. Steven continued his work throughout the 1990’s by developing one of the fi rst photographic quality thermal printing systems, derivatives of which are still in use in self-service imaging kiosks around the world today. Before retiring in 2009 Steven was a project manager in the Intellectual Property Transactions group at Kodak. Steven is married to Cynthia and they have two children, Michael (25) and Jennifer (22). The family lives in Hilton N.Y. Steven enjoys playing basketball and jogging, in spite of the present state of his 62 year old knees.

Making Sense of Waviness and Roughness on Optics

SC1011Course Level: Intermediate · CEU: 0.35 $385 Members · $435 Non-Members USD Monday 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm

The surface texture of a polished optical surface is an important, if misunderstood, surface prop-erty. This course is designed to bring photonics personnel up to an immediate working knowledge on surface texture specifi cations and the impact surface roughness and waviness can have on an optical system. Surface roughness causes scatter and system transmission loss, while waviness and mid-spatial frequency ripple can cause loss of res-olution, image quality, veiling glare, beam modula-tion and a host of other issues. Until recently, surface texture could be safely described by a single number, RMS roughness, following MIL-STD-10A, since most polished opti-cal surfaces were manufactured using the same slurry-pitch process that had existed for decades. In the past 30 years, however, new manufactur-ing technologies have evolved using molding, dia-mond turning, synthetic lap polishing and deter-ministic fi guring which have dramatically altered the surface fi nish of optics. In order to control the resultant surface texture errors, new specifi ca-tions like gradients, correlation values, PSDs and MSF ripple specifi cations have been introduced. Most users do not completely understand these new notations however, and the meaning of even a simple RMS roughness specifi cation has become obscure, or even meaningless. The course begins with the origins and evolu-tion of surface texture specifi cations in optics, and defi nes the terms and parameters used to control surface texture in the modern optical manufacturing world. The potential performance impact of surface texture errors will be covered, and some specifi c case studies will be used to show the impact of various amplitudes of these errors on precision optical instrument perfor-mance. The national and international standards are introduced, and the derivation of meaningful specifi cation for texture and waviness for com-mon applications is discussed. Finally, the iden-tifi cation, measurement and reduction of these manufacturing errors is treated.

LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:• describe the surface texture of a polished

optical surface• identify the sources of surface texture errors

in modern manufacturing processes• comprehend the meaning of a Power Spectral

Density plot• quantify the requirements for surface texture

using PSD and gradient notations• predict the impact of mid-spatial frequency

ripple and roughness on system performance• compose a meaningful surface texture

specifi cation using ASME and ISO standards• identify these surface errors in measurement data

INTENDED AUDIENCEThis course is intended for optical design, manu-facturing and quality control and assurance en-gineers and managers. Some understanding of algebra is benefi cial.

Evaluating Aspheres for Manufacturability

SC1039Course Level: Introductory · CEU: 0.35 $285 Members · $335 Non-Members USD Monday 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm

This course provides an overview of how aspher-ic surfaces are designed, manufactured, and measured. The primary goal of this course is to teach how to determine whether a particular aspheric surface design will be diffi cult to make and/or test. This will facilitate cost/performance trade off discussions between designers, fabri-cators, and metrologists. We will begin with a discussion of what an asphere is and how they benefi t optical designs. Next we will explain various asphere geometry characteristics, especially how to evaluate local curvature plots. We will also review fl aws of the standard polynomial representation, and how the Forbes polynomials can simplify asphere analysis. Then we will discuss how various spec-ifi cations (such as fi gure error and local slope) can infl uence the diffi culty of manufacturing an asphere. Optical assembly tolerances, however, are beyond the scope of this course - we will fo-cus on individual elements (lenses / mirrors). The latter half of the course will focus on the more common technologies used to generate, polish, and/or measure aspheric surfaces (e.g. dia-mond turning, glass molding, pad polishing, inter-ferometry). We’ll give an overview of a few generic manufacturing processes (e.g. generate-polish-measure). Then we’ll review the main strengths and weaknesses of each technology in the context of cost-effective asphere manufacturing.

LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:• answer the question “Can these aspheres be

made within my budget?”• interpret an aspheric prescription from an

optical component print• describe how Forbes polynomials can simplify

asphere interpretation• know how aspheres are manufactured and tested• evaluate key characteristics of an aspheric

surface to determine whether an asphere will be diffi cult to manufacture and/or test

INTENDED AUDIENCEThis material is intended for engineers, optical designers, and managers who want an overview of the benefi ts and challenges associated with manufacturing aspheric surfaces for use in opti-cal systems. It will be of benefi t for specialists in a particular area (e.g. design, manufacturing, or testing), as it will give a broad overview in all three of those areas with a focus on aspheric surfaces. It is intended to facilitate communica-tion between designers, fabricators, and testers of aspheric surfaces.

INSTRUCTORGregory Forbes is Senior Scientist at QED and has developed the mathematical core of the soft-ware that controls QED’s machines for optical fi nishing and metrology. Dr. Forbes has recently published a series of papers discussing better ways to specify aspheric shapes by using tai-lored orthogonal polynomials, and they will also be discussed in this course.

Paul Murphy is a Senior Optical Engineer at QED Technologies International, where he has devel-oped advanced products and processes for aspheric optical manufacturing and metrology. He received his Ph.D. in interferometric non-null asphere testing from The Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester.

He received his B.S. and M.S. in Optics from The Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester.

Designing Optical Systems with Manufacturable Aspheres

SC1061Course Level: Introductory · CEU: 0.35 $285 Members · $335 Non-Members USD Monday 8:30 am to 12:30 pm

Have you ever wondered if adding an asphere to your optical system will make it better? Are you interested in learning techniques to incorporate manufacturable aspheres into your optical de-signs? Would you like a better understanding of where to put an asphere (e.g. location or material) or if you should you use more than one asphere in the your design? Have you always wanted to know what’s the best way to specify and toler-ance an asphere or even how to constrain the asphere during optimization so that it is manu-facturable. If your answer to any of these ques-tions is yes, this course is for you! This course will provide attendees with a broad and useful understanding of how to design with aspheric surfaces and components. Aspheric sur-faces in a lens or mirror system can bring signifi -cant benefi ts to the optical performance. This is not without the liabilities of added cost, delivery time, and even producibility. The course will begin with a discussion of how and when to incorpo-rate aspherics into a variety of lens design forms. We present what aspherics will do for a design, and also what they will not do. We will then focus on understanding the differences between the standard polynomial representation and the new Forbes’ polynomials for specifying, optimizing, and tolerancing aspheres. Methods to constrain the aspheric profi le during optimization to main-tain manufacturability will be introduced. The fi nal part of the course will briefl y review methods for manufacturing and testing aspheres. This course is a continuation of the long-running course SPIE SC552 - Aspheric Optics, which was established and taught by Robert E. Fischer.

LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:• determine if adding an asphere to optical

design makes sense• identify where to add an asphere to a lens or

mirror design to improve performance• interpret an aspheric prescription from an

optical component print

• assess the difference between the standard polynomial representation and Forbes’ polynomials for both specifi cation and optimization

• optimize an optical design using aspheres and constrain the aspheric profi le during optimization to maintain manufacturability

• specify and tolerance an asphere to predict as-built performance

• describe how aspherics are manufactured and tested

INTENDED AUDIENCEThis course is intended for engineers, optical designers, and managers who want an overview of the benefi ts and challenges associated with designing optical systems with aspheric surfac-es. It will be of value to those who either design their own optics or those who work directly or indirectly with optical designers, as you will now understand what is really going on with aspheric surfaces and how to ask the right questions of your designers or fabricators to make them man-ufacturable.

Thin Film Optical Coatings

SC321Course Level: Intermediate · CEU: 0.65 $495 Members · $585 Non-Members USD Wednesday 8:30 am to 5:30 pm

Virtually no modern optical system could oper-ate without optical coatings. Much of any optical system consists of a series of coated and shaped surfaces. The shape determines the power of the surface but it is the coating that determines the specular properties, the amount of light transmit-ted or refl ected, the phase change, the emittance, the color, the polarization, the retardation, includ-ing even the mechanical properties. Optical coat-ings consist of assemblies of thin fi lms of materials where interference properties combine with the intrinsic properties of the materials to yield the de-sired optical performance. They act to reduce the refl ectance losses of lenses, increase the refl ec-tance of mirrors, reduce glare and electromagnetic emission from display systems, improve the ther-mal insulation of buildings, protect eyes from laser radiation, analyze gases, act as anticounterfeiting devices on banknotes, multiplex or demultiplex communication signals, separate or combine color channels in display projectors, and these are just a few of their roles. This course emphasizes under-standing and takes students from fundamentals to techniques for design and manufacture.

LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:• understand the basic principles of optical

interference coatings• perform many rapid design calculations and

assessments without needing a computer• speak knowledgeably about the parameters

that characterize optical coatings• design simple coatings given a suitably

equipped computer• know the advantages and disadvantages of

the basic processes for the production of these fi lters

• understand the infl uence of errors in monitoring and estimate tolerances in production

INTENDED AUDIENCEAnyone who is or wishes to become involved in the manufacture or use of optical coatings or who wants to know more about this rapidly grow-ing and important fi eld. The level is appropriate for someone who has completed high school mathematics and/or science.

INSTRUCTORH. Angus Macleod is President of Thin Film Cen-ter, a software, training and consulting company in optical coatings, and is Professor Emeritus of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona. He has been deeply involved in optical coatings for over forty years.

Optical System Design: Layout Principles and Practice

SC690Course Level: Introductory · CEU: 0.65 $615 Members · $705 Non-Members USD Tuesday 8:30 am to 5:30 pm

This course provides the background and princi-ples necessary to understand how optical imag-ing systems function, allowing you to produce a system layout which will satisfy the performance requirements of your application. This course teaches the methods and tech-niques of arriving at the fi rst-order layout of an optical system by a process which determines the required components and their locations. This process will produce an image of the right size and in the right location. A special emphasis is placed on understanding the practical aspects of the design of optical systems. Optical system imagery can readily be calcu-lated using the Gaussian cardinal points or by paraxial ray tracing. These principles are extend-ed to the layout and analysis of multi-component systems. This course includes topics such as imaging with thin lenses and systems of thin lenses, stops and pupils, and afocal systems. The course starts by providing the necessary background and theory of fi rst-order optical de-sign followed by numerous examples of optical systems illustrating the design process.

LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:• specify the requirements of an optical system

for your application including magnifi cation, object-to-image distance, and focal length

• diagram ray paths and do simple ray tracing• describe the performance limits imposed on

optical systems by diffraction and the human eye• predict the imaging characteristics of multi-

component systems

• determine the required element diameters• apply the layout principles to a variety of

optical instruments including telescopes, microscopes, magnifi ers, fi eld and relay lenses, zoom lenses, and afocal systems

• adapt a known confi guration to suit your application

• grasp the process of the design and layout of an optical system

INTENDED AUDIENCEThis course is intended for engineers, scientists, managers, technicians and students who need to use or design optical systems and want to understand the principles of image formation by optical systems. No previous knowledge of op-tics is assumed in the material development, and only basic math is used (algebra, geometry and trigonometry). By the end of the course, these techniques will allow the design and analysis of relatively sophisticated optical systems.

INSTRUCTORJohn Greivenkamp is a professor at the College of Optical Sciences of The University of Arizona where he teaches geometrical optics and opti-cal system design to undergraduate and gradu-ate students. John is the editor of the SPIE Field Guides and is the author of the Field Guide to Geometrical Optics (SPIE Press, 2004).

COURSE PRICE INCLUDES the texts Modern Optical Engineering, 4th edition (SPIE Press, 2008) by Warren J. Smith and the Field Guide to Geometrical Optics (SPIE Press, 2004) by John E. Greivenkamp.

SPECIAL NOTE: This course is a continuation of Warren Smith’s long-standing SPIE course SC001, Optical System Design: Layout Principles and Practice and incorporates many of the same approaches and material used for that course.

Introduction to Modern Optical Drawings – the ISO 10110 Standard


Since the late 1990’s, the optics community has gradually been converting optics drawings from a free-form, notes-based method to a standard-ized, international pictographic method. In 2013, the United States will join the international com-munity by adopting a version of ISO 10110 as the American National Standard for optics drawings. This new method is a great boon for an industry in need of standardization, but can be very con-fusing to the uninitiated. This course provides attendees with an intro-duction to ISO-10110, the international standard for optics drawing notations. The course con-centrates on the fundamentals of the drawing layout and how to read the notations required for typical optics, such as glass parameters, radius, wave-front, surface imperfections and rough-ness. Attendees are also informed about how the American version is going to differ from the cur-rent international standard. Practical and useful examples are included throughout.

LEARNING OUTCOMES• read and interpret an optical drawing

prepared to ISO 10110

• identify the meaning of the symbology and specifi cations of ISO 10110 for materials imperfections, surface form, wedge, surface imperfections, and surface texture

• describe which symbol corresponds to each of the fundamental optical parameters

• compose and interpret an ISO 10110-compliant optical element drawing

INTENDED AUDIENCEThis material is intended for anyone who has a basic understanding of optics, and encounters or generates optical drawings in the course of their work. Those who either design their own optics, work with optical designers, work with optical suppliers, or manufacture optics will fi nd this course valuable.

INSTRUCTORDavid Aikens is President and founder of Savvy Optics Corp., and has been involved in optics drawings and specifi cations for over 20 years. He is the head of the American delegation to ISO TC 172 SC1, and is the Executive Director of the Optics and Electro-Optics Standards Council. He is also chairman of the project to adopt ISO 10110 as the American National Standard for op-tics drawings.
