    What Are Freeform Optics?

    Freeform optics are specialized optical components characterized by their non-rotationally symmetric and intricately shaped surfaces. Unlike conventional optics, which typically rely on simple, rotational symmetry, freeform optics are designed with complex surface geometries that allow for precise manipulation of light. These designs can be customized to meet specific needs, such as enhancing image quality, reducing aberrations, and improving the overall performance of optical systems.
