What are aspheric lenses? |
Lenses which employ a surface created by the revolution of a non-spherical curve which may be a conic section. |
|
Why is the use of these surfaces beneficial? |
The conicoidal surface is astigmatic and can be used to neutralise aberrational astigmatism allowing thinner, flatter best form lenses to be produced. |
