Spiral Diopter Lens, a Breakthrough in Optics
April 9, 2024 | Terry Sharrer
“Here, we [nanoengineers at the University of Bordeaux] introduce a lens type based on freeform design, employing spiralization of one of its diopters that results in optical vortices. This enables multifocality, primarily serving needs in ophthalmology; however, its potential applications could broadly impact many other domains. In particular, this lens design could be crucial in miniaturizing emerging technologies while retaining their optical quality.” MORE
