Abstract
Plastic optics have found widespread use in a variety of optical systems ranging from amateur photographic products to projection television optics and fiber optics. This paper serves to survey the current state-of-the-art in plastic optics and to describe the advan-tages and limitations of their use. Special attention will be paid to injection molded optics.
