What are spherical aberration compensation plates?
Spherical Aberration Compensation Plates are manufactured from precision substrates to correct for specific wavefront aberration amounts within an optical path.
Why are spherical aberration compensation plates innovative?
Spherical Aberration Compensation Plates are unique to EO and are ideal for correcting for spherical aberration which would otherwise result in a loss of image quality and overall system performance. They can be combined to induce the desired amount of compensatory spherical aberration. Negative sign plates create over-corrected spherical aberration. Positive plates create under-corrected spherical aberration.
In what applications are spherical aberration compensation plates used?
Spherical Aberration Compensation Plates are optimized for use in collimated light with small fields of view in any application that could benefit from a reduction in spherical aberrations.
