Highly Aspheric Mirrors and Lenses Sep 25, 2009

Optical Surfaces Ltd. has developed considerable expertise in producing highly aspheric lenses and off-axis / on-axis parabolic mirrors.

The requirement for highly aspheric mirrors and lenses is particularly prevalent in space-borne optical systems, astronomical telescopes and the next generation of very high power laser systems. Driven by the high cost of launching payloads into space - considerable demands are placed upon reducing the size and weight of optical systems. Many of the designs for the new generation of astronomical telescopes use a segmented spherical primary mirror coupled with highly aspheric mirrors in order to compensate for the primary spherical aberration.
