PowerPhotonic’s Freeform Aberration Correctors enhance laser scanning and imaging resolution by compensating for non-chromatic, optical aberrations. They reduce abnormalities in systems, enhancing the optical output. Aberrations in optical systems most commonly arise from spherical lens design constraints, component tolerances and alignment errors.

Dr. Stephen Kidd, Head of Sales and Marketing at PowerPhotonic, said “PowerPhotonic has significant experience in the design and manufacture of fused silica aberration corrector optics, improving laser system resolution and efficiency in industrial, biomedical, and defence applications. A single aberration corrector can significantly mitigate many non-chromatic aberrations in laser systems. This approach can reduce the need for assembling and positioning precision, high-tolerance optical components; lowering manufacturing, material and labour costs and often realising improvements in yield.

“The freeform Aberration Corrector optics, made from fused silica exhibit very low scatter and loss. These characteristics make them ideal for applications involving extreme high-power, such as laser inertial fusion and sensitive low-light applications (including laser and microscope imaging) The optics can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems to enhance and correct optical performance, much like spectacles for lasers.”
