Abstract

Freeform imaging systems have become prevalent given modern advances in design and fabrication capabilities. Many applications requiring compact optical systems, with fewer surfaces and high quality imaging performance have increased demand for flexible modeling and optimization of freeform designs. This paper shows the results of an examination of the optical design optimization convergence for some reflective systems using unique degrees of freedom in modern commercial optical design software. These optimization degrees of freedom offer support for the creation of new system geometries and positively impact the efficiency of the optical design workflow.
