About This Webinar
Freeform optics are a great choice when designing off-axis optical systems. Understanding and specifying total error for freeform optical components can help with integrating the components during system alignment and performance testing. Total error includes specifying form (irregularity), surface texture, and position errors. This talk provides an overview of freeform total error and advances in optical manufacturing and testing to achieve low total error freeform optics.
