Freeform and Related Optical Systems

Senior Scientist, Synopsys

2016 Feb-John Rogers

Abstract:  “Freeform Optics” is a new category of optics that is currently getting a great deal of attention, in both the optical design and fabrication communities.  In this talk, we will examine the need for freeform optics and compare freeform optics to other rotationally non-symmetric forms of optics.  We will address some interesting questions relating to the design of such systems:  What happens to the aberrations of an optical system when symmetry is broken?  What is the best way to address the asymmetric performance issues that arise?  Is there any intuitive way to understand how such systems behave, or should we just keep adding degrees of freedom and hope the optimizer finds something that works?  In addition to the extra degrees of freedom that freeform surfaces offer, are there any drawbacks, from an optical design perspective?
