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 ...
IN the wave theory of light, the geometrical laws of optics—rectilinear propagation, reflection and refraction—and other results besides, rest on a single principle. The fundamental postulate is that ...
Freeform optical system design harnesses surfaces that depart from conventional rotational symmetry, introducing additional degrees of freedom to control aberrations and optimise performance in ...
