Aspheric Lenses for Optical Systems: Applications, Challenges, and Solutions

Introduction Since the 13th century, lenses have typically been spherical, as they were easy to manufacture by grinding a glass body. Aspheric lenses are superior in many cases because they reduce spherical aberrations and improve focus. However, their higher complexity makes them harder to produce consistently and at high quality. In the following, we will […]
