Molded lenses are used in a variety of photonic products: barcode scanners, laser diode to fiber couplings, optical data storage, and medical lasers, to name a few. In many of these applications, the material of choice is optical glass because of its durability and performance stability over a wide environmental range. High power transmittance is also an added advantage.

An asphere is an optic with one or more surfaces that are defined by a polynomial equation. Aspheres are often used to reduce the number of elements, aberrations, and the weight of an optical system and are commonly found in telescopes, camera lenses, and diagnostic instruments.
Manufacturing aspheres demands the utmost in talent and technology. Just as important, however, is the actual measurement of the aspheric profile to assure adherence to specification. Optimax utilizes surface profilers to inspect to /- 1 micron tolerances, and null lenses with interferometers to certify parts with tighter tolerances.
Optimax inspects 100% of all optics and provides test data with prototype orders. We utilize state-of-the-art metrology and provide on-time delivery guarantees to ensure your satisfaction!
Optimax can provide optics complete with BBAR, V-coat, and mirror coatings. We have four electron-beam coaters supported by a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 900 Spectrophotometer. For more details please see our Coatings data sheet.

Aspherical elements eliminate monochromatic aberrations (e.g. spherical aberration) and improve focusing and collimating accuracy. They replace a multiple spherical element assembly, thereby combining weight reduction and a more compact design. Thus the number of back reflections is reduced, and a higher transmission is achieved.
