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 ...

A team at Vrije University in Brussels, Belgium, has teamed up with commercial desktop laser cutter provider "Mr Beam" to develop a new freeform lens that improves performance while shrinking the size ...

Researchers at Brussels Photonics, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, have developed a 'first time right' design method that eliminates the "step-and-repeat" and "trial-and-error" approach in optical system ...

The LightTools Advanced Design Module provides specialized tools for the design of freeform optics for a wide range of illumination applications New capabilities help users model spatial temperature ...

Engineers have invented a lens that enables microscopic objects to be seen from nine different angles at once to create a 3-D image. Other 3-D microscopes use multiple lenses or cameras that move ...

Optical imaging systems have been playing an essential role in scientific discovery and societal progress for several centuries. For more than 150 years scientists and engineers have used aberration ...
