会议背景介绍：
New technologies for applying and manufacturing freeform optical surfaces, which take virtually any shape without requiring symmetry, are rapidly emerging to enable optical systems that could not be contemplated using traditional technologies. The ability to design, fabricate, measure, and align freeform surfaces is enabling significant optics industry advances, with no end in sight. New product solutions, instrumentation and devices are being enabled with freeform optics technology.
征文范围及要求：
The Freeform Optics conference is a forum to discuss emerging concepts related to the manufacture or application of freeform optical surfaces. The challenges and benefits resulting from designing and building with freeform surfaces are topics of current interest. Technical papers are solicited on the following and related topics:
mathematical and numerical descriptions of freeform optical surfaces
optical systems capitalizing on freeform surfaces
freeform applications in beam shaping
illumination applications of freeform surfaces
design techniques for applying freeform surfaces for imaging systems
design of nonimaging systems that use freeform surfaces
fabrication methods for freeform surfaces
metrology of freeform surfaces
coordinate measurement for freeform optical surfaces
component considerations and tolerancing for freeform surfaces
freeform system alignment methods
unusual imaging with freeform surfaces
material considerations in freeform optics.
We are also working to organize a roundtable discussion on “current capabilities and limitations for supplying freeform aspherics,” covering:
diamond turning
plastic molding
glass molding.
Using examples that illustrate:
metrics for cost and performance
capabilities and limitations
future predictions
practical issues and lessons learned.
