Solving the Steep Challenges of Coating Aspheres

ON DEMAND WEBINAR

Solving the Steep Challenges of Coating Aspheres

Join us for a discussion about the challenges associated with coating the steep surfaces of aspheric lenses and key considerations to ensure that your lenses function as intended.

Achieve Powerful Aberration Correction while Minimizing Unwanted Reflections

We invite you to join this 30-minute webinar presented by Chris Cook, Technical Fellow at Edmund Optics, and Amy Frantz, Optical Design Engineer at Edmund Optics. At the end of this webinar, participants will have a strong understanding of:

  • The benefits of using aspheres instead of spherical lenses
  • Why it is often necessary for aspheres to have steep surfaces
  • How to overcome the challenges of coating aspheres
  • Key considerations to keep in mind when purchasing coated aspheres

Chris Cook

Chris Cook is a Technical Fellow working in Edmund Optics’ Barrington, NJ, USA office. He specializes in the design and fabrication of novel optical coating platforms and processes for high precision, high versatility, high LDT, low-stress, and ultrafast turn-around production systems. His experience includes over 10 years at MIT Lincoln Laboratory Quantum Electronics group developing coatings for advanced solid-state and semiconductor lasers as well as MOEMs devices. He continued working in MOEMS device development as director of coatings development at AXSUN Technologies where he is credited for developing in-situ-stress-controlled coating techniques and bringing processes into production for telecom channel monitors and OCT (swept source) lasers. He received his MSEE in Electro Optical Engineering from Tufts University and his BS in Physics from Sonoma State University.
