Description
Optimax Systems, Inc. has developed a unique and robust manufacturing process for the production of individual freeform optical surfaces. Until now the availability for freeform optics is limited due to the lack of design tools, manufacturing quality, and metrology. Optimax has addressed the manufacturing quality issue of the production of freeform optics. Instrument designers often want two apparently mutually-exclusive characteristics from their optical systems: ruggedness (especially in a rocket-launch environment) and minimal size/weight. Our proposal capitalizes on recent advances in monolithic and freeform optics in order to achieve both characteristics. Approved for Public Release 19-MDA-10203 (4 Sep 19)
