Title: Optics: Trends, Challenges, and the Future

Optical technologies are integral to devices such as sensors, microscopes, and lasers. Today, there is much emerging for optical systems, including freeform optics, that has prompted new capabilities in manufacturing. However, freeform optics’ nontraditional surface geometry makes them challenging to manufacture, despite their ability to ultimately enhance the performance and efficiency of optical systems. Optics-related technology for augmented reality could potentially change manufacturing as well. In addition, optics components and systems are aiding the speed of and access to global networks and data centers. But in the midst of optics’ advancement, challenges exist. Photonics Spectra spoke with three optics experts about the current state of the field, its continual evolution, and expectations for the future:
