What are aspheric lenses?
An aspheric lens is an optical lens whose surface is not spherical but has a more complex curved shape. Compared to conventional spherical lenses, aspheric lenses are designed to better correct aberrations in an optical system, thereby improving image quality.

A right angle prism is a common optical prism with two right angled edges forming a 90° angle and a beveled (slanted) surface that serves as the reflecting or transmitting surface. It is widely used in optical systems for beam steering, imaging, beam combining/splitting,
What is the usage of sapphire windows in optics?
Sapphire is frequently used in optical windows,optical spherical lenses, and other optical components. Additionally, sapphire is often used in high-powered lasers due to its ability and durability to withstand high temperatures. If you need an optical material that can stand up to the most demanding applications. Read more...
