Article: Investigators at Jilin University publish new data on photonics.

"Substitution of a single aspheric microlens (array) for a complex multilens system results in not only smaller size, lighter weight, compacter geometry, and even possibly lower cost of an optical system, but also significant improvement of its optical performance such as better imaging quality. However, fabrication of aspheric microlens or microlens array is technically challenging because conventional technologies used for macro-sized aspheres like single-point diamond milling, and those for spherical microlens like thermal reflow, are not capable of defining a complicated lens profile in an area as small as several to tens of micrometers," scientists in Changchun, ...
