Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020086603A1] Lens system suited for a wide variety of applications uses a variety of freeform lens shapes or surfaces, defined typically by Zernike, Chebyshev or X-Y polynomials to enable low f-number, wide field of view, improved off-axis performance, and other optical characteristics not achievable with rotationally symmetric lenses. The design can be implemented using existing manufacturing techniques.
