Automation of synthesis and ranking of cemented and air-spaced doublets

The article presents an algorithm for the synthesis of cemented and air-spaced doublets. A description of the doublets design computer tool from materials of a user-defined catalog is presented. Features of doublets design automation are considered. An approach for ranking of the generated variants of the doublets according to the preliminary evaluation criterion determined with the main parameters within the framework of the theory of third-order aberrations is proposed. The developed computer tool will help an optical engineer to calculate quickly cemented and air-spaced doublets with the required characteristics.
