Mirrors, prisms, and lenses have been around for hundreds of years, the makings of telescopes, binoculars , and microscopes.
More recently, in 1917, Dr. Frederick Kollmorgen was awarded a patent for a submarine periscope. He founded the company bearing his name, the company for which I performed lens and optical system design for many years. Some of the work is the basis for this web site.
The web site is a restored version of one of the same name that was hacked and destroyed several years ago in the “godaddy” domain hosting company devastating hacking incident.
I am restoring the site to potentially benefit those following in my footsteps. I hope I am successful at that.
Best wishes to all my fellow members in the optics community.
