Aspheric Lens Irregularity and Strehl Ratio

Download Whitepaper
All optical systems have a theoretical performance limit known as the diffraction limit. Strehl ratio is a specification used to compare the real performance of an optical system with its diffraction-limited performance. For aspheric lenses and other focusing optics, Strehl ratio is defined as the ratio of peak focal spot irradiance of the manufactured optic to the diffraction-limited peak irradiance.
