A freeform optical component is not symmetric around its optical axis. It provides some attractive features to optical designers to correct multiple aberrations with fewer optical surfaces, and make ...

Freeform optics bring precision optical systems into a new ear, delivering superior imaging in compact packages, or functions otherwise impossible. Surfaces that are axially unbalanced or have no axis ...

The development of so-called “freeform optics”, devices with potential applications in head-up displays, LED lighting, remote sensing and astronomy, has received a major funding boost in the US. A new ...

Freeform optical system design and metrology represent a paradigm shift in the development of imaging and sensing technologies. By allowing optical surfaces to depart from traditional rotational ...

Researchers have combined theory and practice in a step-by-step method that eliminates much of the guesswork of using freeform lenses. Lenses and mirrors with freeform surfaces enable designers to ...

Gentex’s patented dual-function imaging system for vehicles includes a freeform optic lens with varying magnification levels in different regions. The system processes image data to display different ...

The researchers in Keio University developed a novel tool path generation method for driving an independently controlled fast tool servo (FTS) for freeform surface machining. Without necessity of ...

Following the footsteps of Samsung, the LG Innotek has started the development of the Under Panel Camera (UPC). According to industry sources, LG is working at advanced stages to eliminate the issue ...

"Image" is everything in the $20 billion market for AR/VR glasses. Consumers are looking for glasses that are compact and easy to wear, delivering high-quality imagery with socially acceptable optics ...
