Background:

Traditional lens design relies on iterative processes and expert knowledge.
Existing lens design databases are often discrete and limited in scope.
Developing starting points for complex optical systems is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a deep learning framework for generating lens design starting points.
To enable continuous expansion of lens design databases.
To assist lens designers in achieving high-performance optical solutions.

Main Methods:

A deep neural network (DNN) was trained using supervised and unsupervised learning.
The DNN learned to reproduce known lens designs and optimize optical performance.
The framework was applied to infer cemented and air-spaced doublets.

Main Results:

The DNN successfully generated high-performance doublets tailored to specific optical requirements.
The approach demonstrated the ability to infer lens designs from literature data.
The framework shows potential for extension to more complex lens systems.

Conclusions:

Deep learning offers a powerful new approach to lens design starting point generation.
This method can enhance the efficiency and quality of optical design processes.
The framework has broad applicability and can be extended to various optical systems.
