A short introduction lets readers familiarize themselves with the fundamental principles of the 3D printing method. This is followed by a chapter on commonly-used and emerging materials for printing of optical components, and subsequent chapters are dedicated to specific topics and case studies. The high potential of additive manufactured optical components is presented based on different manufacturing techniques and accompanied with extensive examples – from nanooptics to large scale optics – and taking research and industrial perspectives. Readers are provided with an extensive overview of the new possibilities brought about by this alternative method for optical components manufacture. Finally, the limitations of the method with respect to manufacturing techniques, materials and optical properties of the generated objects are discussed.
With contributions from experts in academia and industry, this work will appeal to a wide readership, from undergraduate students through engineers to researchers interested in modern methods of manufacturing optical components.

3D Printing of Optics
Additive manufacturing generally refers to the layer-by-layer deposition of material in order to build a part. This process opens up completely new design possibilities compared to conventional, subtractive manufacturing methods. Thus, for example, complex-shaped parts with integrated functionality can be
realized as monolithic components. Therefore, this manufacturing method offers a high potential not only for mechanical components but also for optical components, which creates new approaches and solutions for optical systems.

This Spotlight is intended to introduce the 3-D printing of optical components. It also offers experienced users of the technology a better understanding of the topic. The entire process chain of the 3-D printing of optical components is considered. It deals with the construction of a 3-D printing system, the printing materials, and the printing process, as well as the necessary rework and the characteristics of the 3-D printed optics. The minimum requirements are an undergraduate level of mathematics and basic knowledge of physics.

This practical book covers the laws of electromagnetic radiation and interaction of light with matter, as well as the theory and practice of thickness measurement, and modern applications. In so doing, it shows the capabilities and opportunities of optical thickness determination and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of measurement devices along with their evaluation methods.
Following an introduction to the topic, Chapter 2 presents the basics of the propagation of light and other electromagnetic radiation in space and matter. The main topic of this book, the determination of the thickness of a layer in a layer stack by measuring the spectral reflectance or transmittance, is treated in the following three chapters. The color of thin layers is discussed in chapter 6. Finally, in chapter 7, the author discusses several industrial applications of the layer thickness measurement, including high-reflection and anti-reflection coatings, photolithographic structuring of semiconductors, silicon on insulator, transparent conductive films, oxides and polymers, thin film photovoltaics, and heavily doped silicon.
Aimed at industrial and academic researchers, engineers, developers and manufacturers involved in all areas of optical layer and thin optical film measurement and metrology, process control, real-time monitoring, and applications.

Advanced Optics Using Aspherical Elements (SPIE Press Book)
Moderne optische Abbildungssysteme erzielen heute Leistungen, die man früher für undenkbar hielt. Das gleiche gilt auch für Optiken für Kommunikationszwecke, für Messtechnikaufgaben, für Materialbearbeitung, etc.

Diese Leistungssteigerungen sind sowohl auf den Gebrauch neuer Materialien, als auch auf die Einführung neuer Oberflächenbearbeitungs- und Montageprozesse zurückzuführen. Entscheidend war, dass die Physik der Massenabtragung beim Polieren ebenso wie die der Massenauftragung beim Beschichten soweit quantitativ verstanden wurde, dass die Prozesse mathematisch modellierbar wurden, um eine computergesteuerte Realisierung zu ermöglichen.
Dieser Fortschritt erlaubt nunmehr im vermehrtem Masse, Asphären in hochwertige Optiksysteme einzusetzen, was bislang aus Kostengründen nicht in dem Umfang möglich war wie bei den asiatisch dominierten Massenprodukten, z.B. für Handykameras.
Um jedoch Chancen und Risiken des Einsatzes von Asphären abzuschätzen, ist eine Kenntnis der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette notwendig, die sich vom Design über die Materialeigenschaften, Oberflächenbearbeitungsvarianten, Metrologiemethoden, Beschichtungskonzepte bis hin zur Systemmontage erstreckt. Verlässliche Auskünfte darüber können aber nur durch Experten von der täglichen Technologiefront gegeben werden. Deshalb bringt das Buch Beiträge zu diesen Themenkreisen von fast 60 Autoren aus 30 renommierten Optikfirmen und Instituten aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum.
