Fraunhofer IOF is one of the leading research institutes in the field of ultra-precision manufacturing of aspheres and freeforms.
This high-precision technology is of great industrial importance and offers a multitude of possibilitiesfor innovative optical system solutions. Every two years, experts from research and industry meet at the OptoNet Workshop: "Ultra Precision Manufacturing of Aspheres and Freeforms" to discuss current trends and research results in design, manufacture, testing and replication of optical freeforms. In 2024, the focus will be on the presentation of new developments in ultra-precision machine and measurement technology.
With technical presentations and an accompanying exhibition, the workshop provides comprehensive opportunities to gather information and exchange ideas. Networking of national and international players in ultra-precision manufacturing of high-performance optics is also an important goal of the event.
Fraunhofer IOF Jena and our network partner OptoNet e.V. are looking forward to the 11th edition of the workshop "Ultra Precision Manufacturing of Aspheres and Freeforms", which will take place from 17 to 18 September 2024 at the Abbe Center of Photonics and Fraunhofer IOF.
Course of Events
The program/agenda will be new every year with different contributions around the topic of ultra precision manufacturing of aspheres and freeform optics. The topics are diverse, such as design, manufacturing, metrology, system solutions with free-form optics.
This year the workshop will focus on the following topics:
- Freeform Optics in ground-based astronomy
- Freeform Optics in Space Applications
- Freeform Systems and Applications
- Manufacturing and Characterisation of Freeform Surfaces
We look forward to welcoming you to Jena in September 2024. Secure your participation now and benefit from a unique exchange of knowledge and experience!
