Multi-objective optimization of custom compound prism arrays for multiplexed optical imaging.

ABSTRACT: Compound prism arrays are a powerful, yet underutilized, solution for producing high transmission and customized chromatic dispersion profiles over broad bandwidths, the quality of which is unobtainable with commercially available prisms or diffraction gratings. However, the computational complexity associated with designing these prism arrays presents a barrier to the widespread adoption of their use. Here we introduce customizable prism designer software that facilitates high-speed optimization of compound arrays guided by target specifications for chromatic dispersion linearity and detector geometry. Information theory is utilized such that target parameters can be easily modified through user input to efficiently simulate a broad range of possible prism array designs. We demonstrate th
