Co-located Meetings
Optical Fabrication and Testing (OF&T)
Offers new ideas and concepts for the shaping, smoothing, testing and manufacture of conventional and novel optics
Flat Optics (FlatOptics)
Begins from the fundamentals, design and simulation to manufacturing, then shifts to device and system levels followed
Freeform Optics (Freeform)
Explores the evolving impact of freeform optical surfaces on optical systems for both imaging and nonimaging science and
The design, fabrication and testing of optical components and optical systems plays an ever-increasing role in our modern society as more applications for optics are developed, especially in the areas of imaging, sensing and illumination systems.
The design, fabrication and testing of optical components and optical systems plays an ever-increasing role in our modern society as more applications for optics are developed, especially in the areas of imaging, sensing and illumination systems. The Optica Design and Fabrication Congress is the premiere event for learning about the advances in these important areas and highlights the use of modern design tools to reduce cost, augment manufacturability and enhance system performance. Hot topics for this congress include additive manufacturing of optical components, advanced freeform design and fabrication tools for both imaging and non-imaging systems; micro-optics, the use of metasurfaces and other flat optical component techniques in advanced optical systems; and how AI and machine learning tools can help in all areas of design, fabrication, and testing.
