Aspheric Lenses: Irregular Optics for Simplified Systems

By Lisa Yang | Sep 12, 2014 11:55:00 AM

Advantages of Aspheres

Many optical designers have found aspheric lenses to be a favorable solution in situations where conventional spherical optics fall short. In applications such as medical devices and instrumentation, scanners, zoom and range-finding optical systems, and hand-held image capture devices, aspheres are often the key to more compact, higher performing optical designs.
