This paper proposes a lens design method for effectively collimating the light emitting from a light-emitting diode (LED). This collimating lens contains two aspherical lens surfaces which can be mathematically characterized using a few designing parameters, and hence is called an analytic collimating lens. An optical ray-tracing algorithm has been developed for these analytic collimating lenses to analyze their optical performance and to optimize their designs. Six high-power and commercially available ultraviolet (UV) LEDs are chosen as examples for demonstrating the optimal collimating lens design. For each UV-LED, the corresponding optical collimating lens is determined by inputting the ray data file provided by the manufacture over a finite-size emitting area. The divergent angles of the six UV-LEDs have been successfully collimated to a narrow range in between 1.56° to 2.84° from their original radiation angle around 46° to 120°. Furthermore, the proposed analytical collimating lenses are suitable for mass-production using standard mold injection methods, and hence possess great potentials for industry applications of LEDs.

In fields such as biology, archeology, and industry, underwater photogrammetry can be achieved using consumer-grade equipment. However, camera operations underwater differ considerably from those on land because underwater photogrammetry involves different optical phenomena. On the basis of the requirements and specifications of the marine vessel Polaris, we developed a novel underwater camera with prime and zoom lenses and a high resolving power. The camera can be used in the spectrum in shallow water and the blue–green spectrum in deep water. In the past, ordinary cameras would be placed in waterproof airtight boxes for underwater photography. These cameras were not optimized to the underwater spectrum and environment, resulting in no breakthroughs in resolving power. Furthermore, the use of the blue spectrum greatly increases during underwater and particularly deep-water surveying. Chromatic aberration and focus-point displacement generated by the shift from the shallow-water spectrum to the blue–green spectrum in deep water makes universal underwater photography even more difficult. Our proposed optical design aimed to overcome such challenges for the development of a high-resolution underwater surveying camera. We designed a prime lens and a zoom lens. We adopted a waterproof dome window on the outer surface as the basic structure and optimized it in accordance with the conditions of different water depths and spectra to obtain distortion within ±2% and high-resolution underwater imaging quality. For the zoom lens design, we employed a genetic algorithm in Zemax to attenuate chromatic aberration as a kind of extended optimization. This novel optical design that can be used in all waters is expected to greatly reduce the volume and weight of conventional underwater cameras by more than 50% and 60%, respectively, and increase their resolving power by 30–40%.
