    Lenses System
AI Thread Summary
To create an effective collimator lens system for converting diverging rays from an LCD into parallel rays, a multi-lens approach is recommended to minimize aberrations, specifically aspherical and chromatic. The design should incorporate lenses with varying focal lengths and refractive indices to enhance performance. A focal length of approximately 130 cm is desired for this application. Sketching the setup may help clarify the arrangement and interactions of the lenses. Overall, a well-designed lens system can significantly improve image quality by reducing optical aberrations.

I want to make a collimator lens which can convert the diverging rays from and LCD at finite distance screen into parallel rays.
But in order to reduce the aberrations, using system of lens is preferable than using a single lens. Can you suggest the way to create this kind of system please. I need focal length around 130 cm.

You know the formula from the preceding thread ...

What aberrations, precisely ?

Make a sketch of the situation !

first of all thanks for helping.
Aberration types are nothing but Aspherical and Chromatic.
Any lens will definitely create some aberration but we don't want that right ? So I Found somewhere that using system of lens which have different focal length and different refractive index instead of a single lens reduces aberration. So my question is that how can we make system of lenses which can collimate a LCD image.

How are you related to the other/first user @DhruvSorathiya ?

I'm guessing what you are already thinking ... :wink: :biggrin:
 
Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'
Hello togehter, I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help: I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions. 1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...
I would like to use a pentaprism with some amount of magnification. The pentaprism will be used to reflect a real image at 90 degrees angle but I also want the reflected image to appear larger. The distance between the prism and the real image is about 70cm. The pentaprism has two reflecting sides (surfaces) with mirrored coating and two refracting sides. I understand that one of the four sides needs to be curved (spherical curvature) to achieve the magnification effect. But which of the...
