Many items we use in our daily lives - the traffic signals, motion sensors, fingerprint readers, cell phone cameras, bar code scanners, and DVD players - rely upon plastic optical systems to perform. This book provides an overview of the design of plastic optical systems and is structured along the lines of a typical development project.
