The new capabilities enable users to easily incorporate freeform surfaces in illumination designs to produce optical systems that have increased energy efficiency, superior light control and ...

Surfaces are generated using a combination of curve-based (sweeping or lofting), free-form (surface and curve “control-point” editing) and surface solid-modeling techniques (a Boolean “solid ...

Freeform optical system design and metrology represent a paradigm shift in the development of imaging and sensing technologies. By allowing optical surfaces to depart from traditional rotational ...

Freeform components can perform novel phase manipulations on incident light beyond those possible from traditional optical surfaces, thanks to their complex shapes and lack of conventional symmetries, ...
