Google Tech Talks
November, 7 2007
Digital cameras in their many forms will
continue to be one of the
primary drivers towards new technologies in
optics as well as
improvements of classical technologies. This
has been well illustrated
in the past 5-10 years which has seen, for
example, the development of
compression molded glass aspheric lenses for
improved performance and
packaging. The incorporation of injection
molded plastic lenses and
possibly hybrid refractive/diffractive
surfaces will grow.
Furthermore, as the trend continues towards
smaller pixels as well as
more pixels in a given sensor, the imaging
optics will be further
driven towards higher image quality. Zoom
lenses will increase in
their zoom range, yet there will be a
continuing emphasis towards
smaller and smaller packaging. The optics and
their associated
mechanics will need to be more robust with
respect to stray light such
as flare, glare, ghost images, and other
undesirable image anomalies.
And our optics must be more robust with
respect to environmental
effects such as thermal soaks and gradients.
And with all of the
above, customers will want lower cost too. It
is going to be a fun
ride over the next 5-10 years so fasten your
seat belt and hold on
real tight to the safety bar!

Inc. Westlake Village, CA
Bob Fisher is CEO of Optics 1, a past
president of the SPIE, and a
winner of that society's highest award, the
Gold Medal for outstanding
engineering or scientific accomplishments in
optics andelectro-optics.
Mr. Fischer's technical interests are in
optical system design and
engineering, in particular lens design. He
is also interested in
optical component and system manufacturing,
assembly, and testing.
His interests extend from the deep UV through
the visible and on to
the thermal infrared. He is known for his
tireless efforts to advance
optical science, engineering and scholarship.
He served as a book
editor of the McGraw-Hill Series on Optical
and Electro-Optical
Engineering, and as executive editor of OE
Reports, bringing timely
and practical information to professionals in
the field.

| PhotoTechEDU Day 8: Diffraction and Interference in Imaging |
 |
Google Tech Talks
March 14, 2007
ABSTRACT
Photographic Technology Day 8: This session
addresses effects of the wave nature of
light. This approach will allow us to talk
about the phenomena of interference as well
as diffraction. The understanding of the
notion of diffraction will be used to
determine the Rayleigh criteria and finally
the resolving power of an optical system. In
the second part of the lecture, we will study
gratings using the wave approach. An example
of an amateur spectroscope for astronomy
using a reflective grating will be shown.

| DEMO 07: ZINK Imaging,LLC. - ZINK Digital Imaging Technology |
 |
ZINK (Zero ink) Imaging has invented a new
way to print and experience
full-color digital images without ink
cartridges or ribbons. A radically
simple approach to printing, ZINK Digital
Imaging Technology embeds
color-dye crystals into ZINK paper for
affordable, durable and highquality
prints. The first products using ZINK
technology will enable
printing where it has never before been
possible, in the pocket of every
camera-phone and digital-camera user.
DEMO is the premier launch venue for new
products, technologies, and companies. The
nation's top technology executives and IT
professionals, venture capitalists, business
development executives, journalists and
analysts attend DEMO to get the first look at
the emerging products and services that will
ignite the technology landscape and challenge
the status quo.
