The most notable benefit of aspheric lenses is their ability to correct for spherical aberration,
an optical effect which causes incident light rays to focus at
different points when forming an image, creating a blur. Spherical
aberration is commonly seen in spherical lenses, such as plano-convex or
double-convex lens shapes, but aspheric lenses focus light to a small
point, creating comparatively no blur and improving image quality.

Optical Lenses are designed to
focus or diverge light and for imaging or alignment in an optical
system. Optical Lenses, which may consist of a single or multiple
elements, have a variety of applications. Lens forms can be divided into
simple lenses (which include plano-convex lens, plano-concave lens,
double-convex lens, double-concave lens, cylinder lens, drum
lens, spherical lens in different shapes), achromatic lenses compound
lens and multiple types.

Optical lenses can be made in many shapes and may be comprised of a
single element or form constituent parts of a multi-element compound
lens system. They are used to focus light and images, produce
magnification, correct optical aberrations and for projection, mainly
controlling the focus or divergence light used in instrumentation,
microscopy and laser applications.

An aspherical lens features a non-spherical but rotationally symmetric
shape with a curvature radius that changes at various points between the
center and the edge. Although producing this type of lens is difficult,
when manufactured properly, it offers greater functionality than a
comparable spherical lens.Spherical Lenses vs. Aspherical LensesSpherical lenses have a spherical surface and the same radius of
curvature across the entire lens. In contrast, aspherical lenses have a
more complicated surface with a gradually changing curvature from center
to edge.

Yb:YAG's advantage is a wide pump band and an excellent emission
cross section. It is ideal for diode pumping. The broad absorption band
enables Yb:YAG to maintain uninterrupted pump efficiency across the
typical thermal shift of diode output. High efficiency means a
relatively small dimension Yb:YAG laser crystal will produce high power
output. Based on the YAG host crystal, Yb:YAG can be quickly integrated
into the laser design process.

Barium Borate exists in three major crystalline forms: alpha, beta, and
gamma. The low-temperature beta phase converts into the alpha phase upon
heating to 925 °C. β-BBO differs from α-BBO by the
positions of the barium ions within the crystal. Both phases are
birefringent, however α-BBO has centric symmetry and thus
does not has the same nonlinear properties as β-BBO.α-BBO is a negative uniaxial crystal with a large birefringence over the broad transparent range from 189 nm to 3500 nm.

to 3500 nm. The physical, chemical, thermal, and optical properties of
