OP6822 Freeform Mirror

Freeform Mirror Description

Freeform Mirrors represent an optical technology that surpasses the traditional limitations of rotational symmetry in optical surfaces. These mirrors effectively correct asymmetric aberrations in non-symmetrical optical systems, thereby enabling powerful off-axis reflective imaging systems with a large field of view. Freeform mirrors offer greater design freedom and facilitate the development of compact, lightweight optical systems that meet complex spatial requirements. They deliver exceptional image quality and flexible optical architectures, making them ideal for high-performance imaging applications.

Freeform Mirror Applications

-Automotive HUD - Enhancement of light management and image quality in head-up displays (HUDs).

-Imaging Systems - Enhancement of image quality in high-performance optical systems.

-Aerospace - Utilisation in space telescopes and satellite systems for compact designs.

-Medical Imaging - Improvement of precision in devices such as endoscopes and X-ray systems.
