A spherical surface is defined by only one parameter, the radius or curvature of the surface. If the surface is refractive, with different indices of refraction before and after the surface, then the ...

Aspheric lenses have surfaces which do not resemble segments of a sphere or cylinder. Instead, aspheric lenses ha ve a profile that changes in curvature across the surface. This type of lens is ...

Aspheric lenses have at least one surface that is not a true sphere. The aspheric profile used is frequently a conic surface of revolution about the lens axis, matched in design to the shape of the ...

Even when additional features were incorporated into the models 33, for instance aspheric surfaces or the gradient index of the lens, the performance of real eyes considerably differs from the ...

Magneto-rheological finishing (MRF) can be used when a mirror with particularly fine surface quality is required. Designing is just the first step. Once you’ve decided exactly what you want, we are ...
