Comparing the Performance of Lens Geometries

Manufacturing tolerances can contribute to performance degradation, but optical aberrations affect nominal performance even for perfectly manufactured lenses. Since aberrations can dramatically affect spot size and image quality, deciding which lens is best for your application is not always straightforward.

Join us for a 30-minute webinar on January 26, 2023, presented by Edmund Optics' experts Ian Schwartz and Oliva Fehlberg to learn how lens geometry affects the optical performance of your application.

At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will have a strong understanding of:

  • The key impacts of geometry on application-specific optical performance
  • The terminologies and testing parameters for optical lenses
  • Choosing the right lenses for your application requirements
