Extended polynomials
classical non-orthogonal monomial representation
Zernike surface
Only useful for circular pupils and low orders
Splines
Localized description, hard to optimize, good for manufacturing characterization
Generalized Forbes polynomials
Promising new approach, two types, strong relation to tolerancing
Radial basis functions
Non-orthogonal local description approach, good for local effect description
Wavelets
Not preferred for smooth surfaces, only feasible for tolerancing
Fourier representation
Classical description without assumptions, but not adapted to aberrations
Smooth vs segmented, facetted, steps, non-Fermat surfaces
Real world is still more complicated

History:
- exact solutions of Fermat-priciple for one wavelength and only a few field points
corresponding to the number of surfaces
- development of algorithms for illumination tailoring
- mostly methods are applicable for illumination and imaging
Dimension:
- 2D is much easier / 3D is complicated and often not unique
SMS-method of Minano
- construction of the surfaces ray by ray with simple procedure
- approved method in illumination and imaging
Ries tailoring
- method used since longer time
- exact algorithm not known
Oliker-Method for illumination
approximation of smooth surface by sequence of parabolic arcs
Reality:
- due to finite size of surcse sna dbroadband applications tailored methods are only useful
for finding a good starting system for optimization

Arbitrary variation of performance over the transverse cross section
- one aberration value is not feasible to describe the distribution over the bundle cross section
- uniformity of aberration variation is important property
- single numbers should be defined to summarize the performance by moments, rms,...
- additional uniformity parameters are necessary to be defined in the merit function
New aberration types are hard to interpret
Nodal aberration theory
- vectorial approach on aberration theory describes
more general geometries without
symmetry
- nodal points are locations with corrected
aberrations in the field

Basic idea of tailoring:
- point-wise mapping of surfaces
- fulfillment of Fermat principle
- fulfillment of correct photometry

Optimization of systems with freeform surfaces:
- huge number of degrees of freedom
- large differences in convergence according to surface representation
- local vs global influence functions
- definition of performance and formulation of merit function is complicated and
cumbersome
Classical system matrix for local defined splines is ill conditioned
Starting systems:
- still more important as in conventional optics
- only a few well known systems published
- larger archive for starting systems not available until now
- own experience usually is poor
Best location of FFF surfaces inside the system:
- still more important as in the case of circular symmetric aspheres
- no criteria known until now

General purpose:
- freeform surfaces are useful for compact systems with small size
- due to high performance requirements in imaging systems and limited technological
accuracy most of the applications are in illumination systems
- mirror systems are developed first in astronomical systems with complicated symmetry-free
geometry to avoid central obscuration
HMD
Head mounted device with extreme size constraints
HUD
Head up display, only few surfaces allowed
Schiefspiegler
- astronomical systems without central obscuration
- EUV mirror systems for next generation lithography systems
Illumination systems
Various applications, smooth and segmented
