👉 Radius engineering, also known as radius optimization, is a sophisticated technique used in the design and manufacturing of optical components, particularly lenses and mirrors. It involves adjusting the curvature or radius of these surfaces to optimize their performance for specific applications, such as minimizing aberrations, maximizing light throughput, or achieving desired focal lengths. By carefully controlling the radius of curvature, engineers can tailor the optical properties to meet precise requirements, leading to improved image quality and efficiency in devices like cameras, telescopes, and microscopes. This process often requires complex simulations and iterative adjustments to balance various optical parameters and constraints, ensuring that the final product meets or exceeds performance expectations.
