PowerPhotonic’s upcoming webinar in the Photonics Spectra Magazine’s industry expert series is entitled, ‘Practical Aberration Correction Using Freeform Optics – Pushing the Boundaries of Laser System Performance’, and is on June 12, 2025, from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM, BST (7:00 AM – 8:00 AM PDT; 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT). The company’s freeform Aberration Correctors compensate for non-chromatic optical aberrations in laser systems. They enhance optical output by reducing the effects of tolerance build up in components and their positioning. Furthermore, they also compensate for design limitations, such as those resulting from using only spherical lenses. The ability to use a practical aberration correction optic reduces the need for complex assembly and the accurate positioning of precision, high-tolerance, optical components, contributing to lower manufacturing, material and labour costs and improving yield.

Dr. Stephen Kidd, Head of Sales and Marketing at PowerPhotonic, who will deliver the live webinar, said, “Many laser systems necessitate a well-defined output spot or beam profile, which can often be compromised by optical aberrations. The Photonics Spectra webinar will detail how PowerPhotonic’s breakthrough, fused silica, freeform Aberration Correctors can mitigate many of the negative effects of non-chromatic aberrations. These components suit high-power applications, including laser inertial fusion, as well as low-light sensitive applications such as microscope imaging. However, the custom, fast-turnaround, optics solution is both cost-effective and practical, seamlessly integrating into many existing industrial, biomedical, and defence applications, significantly enhancing performance.”
