Design for Manufacturing: Understanding Asphere Tolerances Is Key
Dec 28, 2021 — The production of optical elements has changed significantly over the last two decades, mostly due to the ever-increasing demand for optical systems from end markets, including consumer products, optical communications, laser materials processing, classic photographic and cinema lenses, and even the space sector. For many of these applications, special manufacturing processes have been established to produce lenses and mirrors that are particularly suited to their respective end-use
