Technical Resource
Optical Advantages of Aspheric Lenses
Spherical Aberration Correction – Aspheric lenses are expertly engineered to direct all incoming light rays to a single focal point, eliminating spherical aberration. This enhances image sharpness, minimizes blur, and ensures optimal focus across the field—making them ideal for high-precision imaging systems, laser collimation, and optical instrumentation.
Aspheric vs. High-Index and Pancake Lenses – While high-index lenses use material properties to improve light bending, aspheric lenses optimize surface geometry for superior aberration correction. Compared to compact pancake lenses, aspheric lenses deliver significantly better edge-to-edge image clarity and reduced distortion.
Advanced Surface Geometry & Freeform Capabilities – Avantier supports both rotationally symmetric and freeform aspheric designs. These profiles feature curvature that varies with radial distance from the optical axis, offering greater flexibility in correcting complex aberrations. Key surface profile metrics include:
- Qbfs – RMS slope departure from a best-fit sphere
- Qcon – Sag departure from a base conic
Structure of an Aspheric Lens
Aspheric lenses are optical elements with a radially varying curvature, allowing them to correct aberrations more effectively than spherical lenses. Unlike traditional lenses with uniform curvature, aspheric surfaces are designed to bring light to a sharper, more precise focus.
These lenses are widely used in:
- Automotive sensors
- LED optics
- Medical imaging
- High-resolution cameras
- Laser systems
The surface of a rotationally symmetric asphere is mathematically defined using a sag equation:
Where:
- Z: sag of surface parallel to the optical axis
- s: radial distance from the optical axis
- C: curvature, inverse of radius
- k: conic constant
- A4, A6, …: 4th, 6th, … order aspheric coefficients
When all coefficients are zero, the surface is a standard conic shape—elliptical, parabolic, or hyperbolic, depending on the value of k.
Spherical vs. Aspheric Performance Comparison
As shown in the chart below, a 25 mm f/1 spherical lens produces significantly larger spot sizes compared to an equivalent aspheric lens:
| Object Angle (°) | Spherical Spot Size (μm) | Aspheric Spot Size (μm) |
| 0.0 | 710.01 | 71.43 |
| 0.5 | 710.96 | 3.91 |
| 1.0 | 713.84 | 8.11 |
MTF Comparison: All Spherical vs. Aspheric Triplet Design
This table compares the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) performance of two triplet lenses—one with only spherical surfaces, and the other with a single aspheric surface:
| Object Angle (°) | All Spherical (Tangential/Sagittal) | With Aspheric (Tangential/Sagittal) |
| 0.0 | 13.3 / 13.3 | 61.9 / 61.9 |
| 7.0 | 14.9 / 14.9 | 31.1 / 40.9 |
| 10.0 | 17.3 / 14.8 | 36.3 / 41.5 |
Avantier measures and controls all critical aspects of surface accuracy:
- Form Error – Large-scale deviations, RMS or peak-to-valley
- Waviness – Mid-frequency undulations (slope error)
- Surface Roughness – High-frequency texture, relevant for scatter & laser performance
- Radius Error – Curvature deviation corrected by focus tuning
