The ophthalmic lens manufacturing processes need to extract the aspherical surface equation from the unknown surface since its real profile can be adjusted by the process variables to make the ideal curve without the optical aberration. This paper presents a procedure to get the aspherical surface equation of an aspherical ophthalmic lens. Aspherical form generally consists of the Schulz formula to describe its profile. Therefore, the base curvature, conic constant, and high-order polynomial coefficient should be set to the original design equation. To find an estimated aspherical profile, firstly lens profile is measured by a contact profiler, which has a sub-micrometer measurement resolution. A mathematical tool is based on the minimization of the error function to get the estimated aspherical surface equation from the scanned aspherical profile. Error minimization step uses the Nelder-Mead simplex (direct search) method. The result of the refractive power measurement is compared with the curvature distribution on the estimated aspherical surface equation

An aspherical lens in information technology has been increased in order to enhance the optical performances. There are two kinds of approaches to machine the aspherica surface is generally conducted by the diamond turning machine, precision grinding machine, and polishing machine. This technique, however, has a problem which needs an expensive and high precision machine in order to increase the surface roughness and the machining accuracy. In this paper, a machine, which is able to machine the aspherical surface, was developed to decrease the cost. Also, the machining of the aspherical surface using a cone was carried out experimentally in order to compare the experiment with the simulation. The results showed that the machining experiments of the aspherical surface by using the titled cone were in accordance with the simulation.

As consumer in optics, electronics, aerospace and electronics industry grow, the demand for ultra precision aspherical surface lens increases higher. To enhance the precision and productivity of ultra precision aspherical surface micro lens, the following specification of ultra precision grinding system is required: the highest rotational speed of the grinder is 100,000rpm and its turning accuracy is $0.1{\mu}m$, positioning accuracy is $0.1{\mu}m$. The development process of the grinding system for the ultra precision aspherical surface micro lens for optoelectronics industry is introduced. In the work reported in this paper, an intelligent grinding system for ultra precision aspherical surface machining was designed by considering the factors affecting the surface roughness and profiles accuracy. An aerostatic form was adopted to build the spindle of the workpiece and the spindle of grinder and ultra precision LM guide way was adopted in this system.

In this paper, new aspherical surface polishing mechanism is suggested to polish aspherical glass lens mold by both airbag polishing tool and reverse-rotational eccentric motion. Up to now, conventional aspherical lens polishing method by the small tool polishing uses the aspherical surface profile and the trajectory of the polishing tool is also controlled. However, full contact concept by airbag polishing tool and no position control make the easy polishing setup and does not need aspherical design profile. An aspherical lens polishing machine was made for this study and a tool mark removal experiment fur the fine-grounded lens mold was successfully performed.

This paper presents mainly a procedure to get the mathematical form of the manufactured aspherical lens. Generally Schulz formula describes the aspherical lens profile. Therefore, the base curvature, conic constant. and high-order polynomial coefficient should be set to get the approximated design equation. To find the best-approximated aspherical form, lens profile is measured by a commercial stylus profiler, which has a sub-micrometer measurement resolution. The optimization tool is based on the minimization of the root mean square of error sum to get the estimated aspherical surface equation from the scanned aspherical profile. Error minimization step uses the Nelder-Mead simplex (direct search) method. The result of the lens refractive power measurement shows the experimental consistency with the curvature distribution of the best-approximated aspherical surface equation

The aspherical lens was designed to be able to array a focal point. For this reason, it has very curved surface. The aspherical lens is fabricated by injection molding or diamond turning machine. With the aspherical lens, tool marks and surface roughness affect the optical characteristics, such as transmissivity. However, it is difficult to polish free form surface shapes uniformly with conventional methods. Therefore, in this paper, the ultra-precision polishing method with MR fluid was used to polish an aspherical lens with 4-axis position control systems. A Tool path and polishing mechanism were developed to polish the aspherical lens shape. An MR polishing experiment was performed using a generated tool path with a PMMA aspherical lens after the turning process. As a result, surface roughness was improved from $R_a=40.99nm$, $R_{max}=357.1nm$ to $R_a=4.54nm$, $R_{max}=35.72nm$. Finally, the MR polishing system can be applied to the finishing process of fabrication of the aspherical lens.

This paper deals with mirror grinding of a small-sized aspherical lens by a resin bonded diamond spherical wheel. Up to now, a spherical lens has been used for the lens of the optical communication optical part. However, recently, aspherical optical parts are mainly used in order to attempt the improvement in image quality and miniaturization of the optical device. It is possible to manufacture the aspherical lens which is presently being used in optical instrument through ultra-precision machining technology. Also, to realize compactness, efforts are being made to produce a micro aspherical lens, fur which the development of a high-precision, micro molding die is inevitable. Therefore, extensive research is being done on methods of producing a micro aspherical surface by high-precision grinding. In this paper, the spherical wheel was trued by cup-shaped truer and tool path was calculated by the radius of curvature of the wheel after truing and dressing. Then in the aspherical grinding experiment, WC material which is used as a melding die for the small-sized aspherical lens was ground. The results showed that a form accuracy of 0.1918 $\mu\textrm{m}$ P-V and a surface roughness of 0.064 $\mu\textrm{m}$ Rmax could be achieved.

The development process of the polishing system for the aspherical lens mold for opto-electronics industry is described. The system uses the method that polishing tool is scanned on the surface under PC-NC control for the aspherical lens mold. The two axes interpolation of the minimum translation mechanism is applied to give uniform working condition by motion analysis. An aspherical surface is divided into multiple sections and each dwell time is calculated from the polishing rate model based on the Preston equation. As result of form error compensation experiment, initial form error is decreased about 25% while an average value of surface roughness is also reduced successfully from 180nm to 19nm.

목적: 국내에서 시판되는 안경렌즈의 성능을 분석하고 최적화 설계로 수차가 보정된 안경렌즈를 설계하였다. 방법: 굴절률 1.6의 재질을 갖는 4개 회사의 ${\pm}$5.00D의 구면 렌즈와 비구면 렌즈의 중심두께, 곡률반경, 비구면 계수를 측정하였다. Mitutoyo사의 ID-F150으로 중심두께를 측정하였고, Automation Robotics사의 FOCOVISION(SR-2)를 이용하여 곡률반경을 측정하였다. 비구면 계수는 Taylor Hobson사의 PGI 1240S로 측정하였다. 렌즈 후면부터 눈의 회선점까지의 거리 27 mm, 동공직경 4 mm, 중심시야 $30^{\circ}$에서 적은 양의 수차를 갖는 안경렌즈를 설계하였다. 측정 렌즈보다 Axial height를 짧게 함으로써 미용 상의 이점을 높였다. 설계에는 ORA사의 Code V를 이용했다. 결과: -5.00D 비구면 렌즈는 구면 렌즈보다 비점수차와 왜곡수차는 약간 크게 나타났으나 Axial height가 짧고 가장자리 두께가 감소하여 미용 상의 장점이 있다. +5.00D 비구면 렌즈는 왜곡수차의 성능이 향상되고 (-)렌즈와 마찬가지로 Axial height와 중심두께의 감소로 미용 상의 장점을 확인하였다. 최적화 과정을 통한 전면 비구면 렌즈는 비점수차와 왜곡수차가 측정 구면 렌즈보다 좋은 성능과 미용 상의 장점을 확인할 수 있다. 결론: 국내에서 시판되는 비구면 렌즈는 수차의 성능보다는 미용 상의 장점을 키우는 Axial height의 감소와 두께의 감소에 주안점을 둔전면 비구면 설계가 이뤄지고 있다. 최적화 설계이론을 통해 측정렌즈보다 향상된 수차성능과 미용 상의 이점을 모두 갖는 전면 비구면 안경렌즈의 설계를 하였다. 후면 비구면 렌즈의 설계를 통해 전면 비구면 렌즈보다 향상된 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 기대할 수 있다.
