NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 5) which is identical to ISO/TR 14880-5 : 2010 'Optics and photonics - Micro lens arrays - Part 5: Guidance on testing' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Optics and Photonics Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

This standard is intended as a guide to the selection and use of the appropriate method for testing optical and geometrical properties of a single microlens or microlens arrays. Examples of applications for microlens arrays include three-dimensional displays, coupling optics associated with arrayed light sources and photo-detectors, enhanced optics for liquid crystal displays, and optical parallel processor elements.

This standard is published in five parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Vocabulary

Part 2 Test methods for wave front aberrations

Part 3 Test methods for optical properties other than wave front aberrations

Part 4 Test methods for geometrical properties

The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current-practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
