A better version of my other Slideshare posting on this topic, with fancier graphics - due to my co-author Luc Gilles. Notice, in particular, the 5 reflection design at the end of the slides. It would be much more useful than the 3 reflection design, due to a wide separation of object and image.
Multiple solutions in very simple optical designsDave Shafer
Several optical design examples show how multiple solutions can exist even in very simple systems. Time spent in looking for them is often more useful then simply optimizing the first solution that you find, which may not be the best of the alternates..

A survey of some unusual telescope designs. One has a 20 meter diameter f/1.0 spherical primary mirror while others are suitable for amateur astronomers to make.
A modification of the Double-Gauss design with two diffractive surfaces is described with very enhanced performance. The key is an interaction between the aberrations of the two diffractive surfaces and the aberrations of a curved substrate lens.
A high performance design is described that uses freeform aspherics to give an unobscured reflective telescope with a 22 degree field of view at f/2.0 on a flat image with no vignetting. The entrance pupil is out in front of the system, one focal length in front, and that is very difficult to achieve.

Extreme pixels per volume optical designDave Shafer
The surprising benefits are shown of superimposing a diffractive surface on top of an aspheric surface to get very high performance designs with a very narrow spectral bandwidth. The combination on the same surface allows independent control of a ray's direction and phase..
One example is given of a fast speed wide angle telescope design that uses freeform aspherics to give great performance gains compared to conventional aspherics
A freeform aspheric version of the classic Dyson design gives much improved aberration correction and makes for designs that are fast speed and have a large field size, especially large rectangular strip fields

A 100 mm focal length f/1.25 design is described with a 20 degree field diameter and a curved image. It is diffraction-limited over the field from .486u to .6563u.
Lens designs with extreme image quality featuresDave Shafer
A variety of lens designs is described which have some image quality feature which is extreme - like an extremely wide spectral bandwidth or extremely high resolution.
By using a diffractive surface to provide most of the focusing power, combined with aspheric lenses, a simple fast speed wide angle design is possible with excellent image quality. But a very large amount of color limits the useful spectral bandwidth to a very small amount.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

ANNULAR FIELD OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM
An optical system
might have a “sweet
zone” of good image
quality over some
range of image radii
Inner and outer image zone
radii with good image quality
Rectangular fields can
be fit within the zone
of good imagery
3. ANNULAR FIELD OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM
Offner design has
blocked center of field
due to convex mirror
1.0 X Offner design of concentric or
nearly concentric spherical mirrors
4. The diffraction-limited field for an
Offner design may be very narrow.
Then only a small rectangular field
can be fit inside the inner and outer
annular field radii.
5. For an object and image
distance to the concave mirror
of 200 mm the diffraction-
limited (at .5876u) field goes
from 36 to 37 mm off-axis for an
f/3.0 design. That 200 mm
distance is held for the other
f/3.0 designs about to be shown.
Inside this narrow 1.0 mm wide annular field a rectangular field can
be fit that is 11.5 X 0.5 mm, or 6.5 X .75 mm, or 1.0 X 1.0 mm
6. By letting both the concave and
convex mirror be aspheric the
image quality hardly changes at all,
if the design is constrained to be
telecentric. But if telecentricity is
dropped then the convex mirror
(still the aperture stop) slowly
moves away from the concave
mirror. Then the convex mirror gets
smaller and blocks less of the center
of the field. Then the design can
work closer to the optical axis and
get better performance.
With two aspheric mirrors the
f/3.0 design is then diffraction-
limited over a rectangular field of
54 mm X 1.0 mm, or 13 mm X 25
mm, or 15 mm X 15 mm
8. If both mirrors are
made freeform aspherics
then the convex mirror
moves even closer to the
object and image plane.
That allows the design to
work even closer to the
axis and the image
quality gets better still.
A rectangular diffraction-limited field going in and
out of the plane of the page can be 115 mm X 1.0
mm, or 50 mm X 5 mm or other aspect ratios.
9. The beam footprint on the convex
mirror for this 115 mm X 1.0 mm field
size design is very elliptical – much larger
in the out of plane direction.
10. If the freeform design is
optimized for a diffraction-
limited field of about 80mm X
1.0 mm then the beam footprint
on the convex mirror is quite
round. That design is shown
here. But any further increases
in field size, still with very good
performance, requires the
design to squeeze in the Y
direction the beam footprint on
the convex mirror so that the
design can work closer to the
axis without vignetting.
That then leads to
this beam footprint
for the 115 mm X
1.0 mm design
11. Design comparison of diffraction-limited field size
Classical f/3 Offner - rectangular field = 11.5 mm x 0.5 mm or 1.0 x 1.0 mm,
for 36 to 37 mm radius annular field
Aspheric f/3 Offner - rectangular field is 56 mm x 1.0 mm or 13mm x 26 mm.
Freeform f/3 Offner - rectangular field = 115 mm x 1.0 mm or 50 mm x 5 mm
Object and image distance to concave mirror = 200 for all designs
12. This freeform
design can be used
as a spectrograph by
making the convex
mirror have a grating
on its surface. That
would have to be on
top of the freeform
aspheric. The design
has a very wide slit
length in the out of
plane direction
