About This Webinar
The idea of employing higher-order surfaces in optical systems to improve performance has been around for decades. Designing and fabricating aspheric lenses in larger quantities and at a quality level sufficient for optical systems, however, began only about 20 years ago.

Considerations of freeform surfaces in optical designs originated at around the same time, but the evolution over the last decade has been significant. Viewers of Fuchs’ presentation will come away with a sense of the expanded number of options for measuring and manufacturing these higher-order surfaces.

***This presentation premiered during the 2023 Photonics Spectra Conference. For more information on Photonics Media conferences, visit events.photonics.com.
