OPTICS MANUFACTURING: Turning design into reality
04/26/2013
The creation of a functional and economical optical component or system arises not just from good optical design, but also from the vast store of accumulated knowledge gained from manufacturing expertise. Such knowledge leads to the best real-world material choices, optimum tolerancing, and--yes--better optical design. The wide variety of optics in use today--refractive, reflective, spherical, aspherical, IR, visible, UV, and hybrids of all types--are fabricated with the goal of minimizing errors; this technical digest highlights some examples of how optics design, manufacture, and application are all part of the equation for success. This Editorial Digest brought to you by Edmund Optics. Sponsored by
