`Citizenship – United States of America
`
`Place of Residence – 6421 E Paseo Otoño, Tucson, AZ 85750
`
`Career Overview
`Mr. Juergens has over 40 years of experience as an optical designer and optical engineer.
`He has concentrated mainly on infrared optical systems, but has experience with visible
`optical systems also. He has designed many different types of telescopes and optical
`systems, including all refractive, all reflective, and catadioptric systems (combination of
`refractive and reflective components). Systems he has designed include single field-of-
`view systems, multi-field-of-view systems, and zoom systems. His work experience has
`been a combination of individual contributor, functional management of small to large
`engineering groups, and optical educator.
`
`Mr. Juergens is an expert user of the CODE V optical design software, which is used by
`many optical designers world-wide, such as those at Zeiss in Germany and Nikon in
`Japan (both places of which he has visited and given seminars and technical support). He
`worked 11 years at Optical Research Associates, the suppliers of CODE V, and went
`around the world giving seminars, lectures, and technical support on how to use CODE V
`effectively for design and analysis of all kinds of optical systems, including lithographic
`systems.
`
`Mr. Juergens also teaches courses at his current employment on fundamentals of optical
`engineering, and gives guest lectures at the College of Optical Sciences of the University
`of Arizona on various aspects of optical engineering and design.
`
`Current Employment – Raytheon Missile Systems, Tucson, Arizona, 1999 to present.
`Mr. Juergens is currently a Senior Engineering Fellow, working in the Optical
`Engineering Department. He is responsible for the technical accuracy and integrity of the
`design and analysis of the various optical systems in development and production at
`RMS. He accomplishes this by performing detailed optical design and analysis, directing
`the technical efforts of other senior and junior optical engineers, conducting and being a
`member of preliminary and critical design reviews and other review boards, developing
`new and better tools for optical analysis, and by mentoring and teaching optical
`engineering.
`
`Consulting
`In 1999 Mr. Juergens started a consulting business called Cimarron Optical Consulting,
`Inc. The consulting work has been mainly with Optical Research Associates to help
`develop new directions and capabilities for CODE V, compare it to other optical
`software, and write macros and teaching aids for CODE V. COC has also done lens
`design and analysis for other consulting companies.
