When a U-type 2X zoom optical lens design for Digital Light Processing (DLP) projector was designed by CODE V, we found that the MTF and RI values at position 1 of the maximum field are less then 10% (MTF) and 60% (RI) at 50 lp/mm, which didn't conform the lowest performance. But if we corrected the design to improve the value of MTF, then RI value would become lower and probably not match the requirement relatively. In order to achieve the optimal values of MTF and RI simultaneously, we employed the integration of the Taguchi method and the robust multiple criterion optimization (RMCO) approach to solve such a multiple objective (MTF and RI) optimization problem.
