Teledyne Scientific & Imaging fabricates and manufactures Silicon microlenses using advanced processing techniques. We use Reflow and Grayscale fabrication methods to achieve high quality, cost efficient microlenses. Reflow involves patterning polymeric materials on substrates and then melting the polymer to form ideal spherical surfaces. Professional lenses produced by this method have a wide range of design parameters and numerical apertures, and aspheric design over many conic values.
Grayscale photolithography is used in fabricating asymmetric micro-optic structures. This technique enables complex optical structures to be fabricated including full fill-factor microlens arrays, kinoform and Fresnel lens patterns, concave and off-axis lenses, and diffraction grilles.

| This type of grating is the holographic counterpart of the classically ruled concave grating, invented by Rowland in the 19th century. The Rowland grating has straight grooves which are equally spaced along a chord of the concave surface. |

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have quickly established themselves as one of the key enabling technologies behind the 'DWDM Revolution'. EDFA gain-equalising professional filters, WDMs and add-drop multiplexers, created as periodic variations in the refractive index of the core of the fiber itself, have all played their part in delivering almost unlimited bandwidth - and in accelerating the transition of the entire telecommunications industry from a digital electronic to a digital photonic world.
FBGs can also be used in the fabrication of optical strain and temperature sensors manufacturers, with quasi-distributed measurements possible using gratings written sequentially into a continuous length of fiber. |

Holographic gratings for spectroscopic application.
Grating constants of up to 4000 lines/mm can be produced. Dimensions of up to 60 mm apertures with active optical wavelengths from 200 nm to 800 nm are available. These gratings show high performing surfaces with very precise line shapes and transmission for better spectral performance.

| Laser tuning gratings are holographic gratings specially designed for wavelength tuning of industrial lasers, such as dye lasers, Ti-sapphire, or external cavity diode lasers. The groove depth is optimized to yield maximum efficiency for one state of polarization. |
|
| The gratings are holographically recorded with two highly collimated, clean and homogeneous beams, which give straight and equispaced grooves. The diffracted light from these gratings is free from ghost spectral lines. The randomly scattered light is as low as that from a good front surface aluminium mirror. |
|
| These gratings are especially suited for use in professional laser pulse compression experiments. High diffraction efficiency, in combination with good spectral quality and high damage resistance makes these gratings useful in all kinds of laser pulse applications; both pulse compression using optical fibre grating pairs, and for amplification of pulses with chirped pulse amplification. |
|
| Spectrogon manufacture high quality, holographically recorded, blazed profile gratings specifically for use in the UV region of the spectrum. These gratings are available in a range of groove densities between 300-2400 gr/mm. All are nominally blazed at 220 nm in the Littrow configuration. The processes used to manufacture these UV gratings were developed for use in making gratings for the soft x-ray region (1-10 nm) and are therefore designed to have very low stray and scattered light. |
