摘要
In this work, we present the fabrication of two 3D printed plano-freeform prototypes, designed in such a way that, when assembled, an Alvarez lens is formed. The freeform surface of each element was mathematically described using Zernike polynomials and verified by implementing an off-axis null-screen test. Additionally, a characterization by refraction of the assembled lens was performed. Experimental images show the suitability of additive manufacturing engineering for prototyping freeform optics by providing a practical demonstration of the Alvarez lens concept.
