Asphere and Freeform Measurement 101
The precision optics industry is gradually moving toward increasingly complex optical designs.
Asph
eres are becoming a large portion of manufactured optics. Metrology for these optical shapes is a challenge and various measurement methods have individual strengths and weaknesses. OptiPro has developed a novel solution named UltraSurf, a non-contact measuring system using state of the art, precision motion control. OptiPro designed the UltraSurf to further the manufacturing capabilities of companies producing complex precision optics. Common asphere and freeform metrology is presented along with how the UltraSurf fits in.
