Designing an optical system requires of the designer significant effort, knowledge, skills and experience. In this work, an automatic design method is proposed for freeform optics, in which specifications and constraints are the only inputs required, and a variety of results can be obtained automatically. The output results have various structures and optical power distributions with high imaging qualities. By implementing this method, designers can realize an overview of the solution space and also focus on specific designs.
