QC 351 A7 no. 14 / Lens designers who use automatic programs and large computers are no
longer considered to be pioneers but are now an integral part of the world's
rapidly-expanding optical industry. Various techniques of automatic correction, though still in the developmental stage, are finding daily application. A designer armed with a powerful lens design program and a capable
computer may now design, in a matter of hours, a lens system which would
have taken months to perfect only a few years ago; the results are consistently better than those obtained by classical methods, using log tables and
desk calculator.
Realizing that much has been learned about automatic design in the past
decade, and realizing that the time was ripe for this knowledge to be shared,
the Institute of Optics (University of Rochester) sponsored an international
conference on Lens Design with Large Computers. Following is an agenda and
list of speakers at this conference, held July 5-8, 1966, in Rochester, New
York.
