Aspheric surfaces reduce spherical aberration and can replace multi-element assemblies in compact systems. We review the prescription, vertex radius, conic constant, aspheric coefficients, centration and coating before quoting. The surface error and centration should be tied to the system wavefront budget.

  • Laser collimation
  • Compact imaging
  • Aberration correction
  • Custom prescription
  • Low-melting glass or fused silica
  • PV < 0.2 µm reference
  • AR / BBAR coating
