# Fractional Wave Freeforms

###### Optimax's advanced manufacturing and metrology solutions enable the highest precision freeform optics and reduce your system's size, weight, and power needs. We are committed to adopting and developing new metrology solutions to continue to reduce measurement uncertainty.

### Engineered Solutions in Action

###### The Manufacturing of a Multi-surface Monolithic Telescope with Freeform Surfaces

Monolithic multi-surface telescopes combined with freeform optical surfaces provide improvements in optical performance in a smaller footprint as compared to systems with spherical surfaces, while providing superior mechanical stability to traditional telescope assemblies. Three different monolithic telescope concepts, in various configurations and optical performance, were produced as proof of concepts. The results of the telescopes and the unique manufacturing and testing challenges to produce these monolithic optical systems are presented.
