Naturally, the field has developed considerably since the book was published. The most obvious change is the availability of powerful lens design software packages, which all lens designers use. However, a lens designer still needs to understand the fundamentals of lens design, otherwise a design could be faulty, costly to develop and difficult to manufacture. The market for the book has increased considerably since publication, as optical systems are being implemented in a wide variety of applications, including cameras in cellular phones, digital cameras, medical instruments, display systems, infrared sensors, web cams, money scanners, etc. The advent of software packages for lens design has meant there are a lot more engineers carrying out design than when the book was first published. This book provides the skills and knowledge to move into the exciting world of contemporary lens design and develop the practical lenses needed for the great variety of 21st-century applications. In keeping with market trends, this book has been thoroughly updated and includes two new chapters on the effective use of lens design software packages.
