Starting geometry creation and design method for freeform optics

Optics that have no rotational or translation symmetry, termed freeform, have the potential to make well-corrected compact optical systems. Here, Bauer et al. approach the design of freeform optics with aberration theory and present general guidelines to design and optimize physically realizable sys...
