Optimizing the Design of Aspheric Lenses
The second in a two-part series on aspheric lens manufacturing discusses considerations in maximizing the design of a lens for its intended application. With the understanding of aspheric lens manufacturing provided in part one (Photonics Spectra, May 2015), designers have the tools to optimize their aspheres; the next step is to understand how to specify and tolerance the asphere so it can meet its application’s requirements.
