Optical design, deep learning

An AI Curriculum for Learning Lens Design

We introduced a fully automated lens design algorithm that uses deep optics and differentiable ray tracing.

End-to-end hybrid refractive-diffractive lens design with differentiable ray-wave model

We propose a new hybrid ray-tracing and wave-propagation (ray-wave) model for accurate simulation of both optical aberrations and diffractive phase modulation.

Curriculum learning for ab initio deep learned refractive optics

We present DeepLens, a method to learn optical designs of compound lenses ab initio from randomly initialized surfaces without human intervention.
