Q: What advantages do aspheric lenses offer over standard singlet lenses?
A: Aspheric lenses simplify design, assembly, and minimize stray light. They eliminate spherical aberration, correct for off-axis aberrations, and can replace complex designs with simpler configurations. With three types available – precision glass molded for high-volume production, polished for prototypes or low volume, and aspherized hybrid for multi-spectral applications – aspheric lenses offer versatile solutions.
