Optics: Trends, Challenges, and the Future
Aug 4, 2018 — Optical technologies are integral to devices such as sensors, microscopes, and lasers. Today, there is much emerging for optical systems, including freeform optics, that has prompted new capabilities in manufacturing. However, freeform optics’ nontraditional surface geometry makes them challenging to manufacture, despite their ability to ultimately enhance the performance and efficiency of optical systems. Optics-related technology for augmented reality could potentially change manufacturing as...
