Embracing Optical Imperfections: How YIGHEN Turns Aberrations into Art

In the world of optical design, image aberrations in imaging lenses are inevitable. Each lens has its unique characteristics of aberration, which can create distinct artistic effects in specific applications. For instance, large field curvature can create a twisting and rotating visual effect that slightly disorients viewers. The interplay of spherical aberration spots and ghosting often evokes deep memories. A fish-eye distortion with nearly 180-degree viewing angles may cause vignetting at the edges but can also make landmarks like Notre Dame appear as if they were from a floating city. Significant chromatic aberration resulting in purple fringing around portraits can add an unusual aesthetic appeal to images.
