LightPath® Geltech™ Molded Aspheric Lenses are used to eliminate spherical aberration and improve focusing and collimating accuracy in a variety of laser applications. Low NA aspheric lenses are designed to maintain beam shape, while high NA lenses gather all available light to maintain beam power over long distances. LightPath® Geltech™ Molded Aspheric Lenses are ideal for applications including sighting systems, bar code scanners, laser diode-to-fiber coupling, optical data storage, or biomedical lasers.
This comparison of the performance of aspheric, achromatic, and spherical PCX lenses in different situations reveals the ideal use cases for each type of lens.
Computer Generated Hologram metrology provides a new solution for overcoming traditional asphere metrology. Learn more about CGH metrology at Edmund Optics.
Are all aspheric lenses from Edmund Optics® polished using magnetorheological finishing (MRF)?
No, advances in subaperture polishing have allowed for the fabrication of aspheres with surface figure error down to λ/20 (0.25µm). However, MRF is still...
What are the challenges associated with increasing the diameter of optics like aspheric lenses?
The CNC polishing equipment used to fabricate the optics must have a large enough range of motion to properly polish the full asphere, and the weight of the...
Deviations in surface form relative to an ideal shape at higher spatial frequencies than Zernike polynomial aberrations but lower frequencies than roughness.
Meta description: Ideal for volume applications, including laser diode collimation, bar code scanners, and optical data storage. Can be molded into diameters as small as 1mm.
CNC polished aspheric lenses offer high numerical apertures while creating diffraction-limited spot sizes and are ideal for high-precision applications.
Cinema lenses designed to create content tailored for online streaming utilize aspheres to shoot with a shallow depth of field while maintaining quality.
Aspherized Achromatic Lenses, exclusive to Edmund Optics, are doublet lenses consisting of two cemented optical elements that are matched for their color-correction ability and small RMS spot size.
Modifying Stock Optics Tip #3: Turn A Sphere Into An Asphere
Join Andrew Fisher, Manufacturing R&D Engineer at Edmund Optics, as he discusses some tips for modifying stock optical components to fit your application's needs.
The diffraction pattern caused when light passes through an aperture is called the Airy Disk. Find out how the Airy Disk can impact your image at Edmund Optics.
Although a common misconception, individual optical lenses do not always form an image when the object plane is placed a focal length away from the lens.
