Abstract

In this thesis, we explore how lens design and optimization techniques can adapt to the design (optimization) space in order to increase the lens design efficiency. We extensively discuss the Saddle Point Construction (SPC), a method that can systematically search for new solutions, as well as replace high-dimensional searches with a discrete number of one-dimensional searches to increase efficiency....
