Use of the YӮ diagram in GRIN rod design

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The YӮ diagram of Delano is applied to the design of gradient-index rods and is used to explain GRIN rod vignetting. Several detailed design examples are given which show how to use the diagram for GRIN rods. The YӮ diagram is a particularly useful tool to explore potential solutions involving diameter constraints and equips one with a rapid nonalgebraic investigation method.
