| Molded professional lenses are used in a variety of photonic products: bar code scanners, laser diode manufacturer 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, professional 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. |

A professional cylinder is a surface that is circular in one direction and flat in the orthogonal direction. A cylindrical optic has one or more cylindrical surfaces. Cylindrical optics are used in medical instruments, graphic arts, professional laser printers, and semiconductor processing equipment.
Optimax uses several interferometric techniques including plano reference flats, spherical transmission professional lenses, and diffractive optical elements to verify the plano axis and power axis of the optic.

GRADIUM® professional lenses are made from LightPath's proprietary axial gradient index glass. Its unique refractive qualities can be exploited to reduce spherical aberrations - resulting in performance similar to single term aspheres. GRADIUM® lenses provide a cost-effective solution for many high-performance applications.
Ideal for high power applications, GRADIUM® lenses and their gradient-index structure often allow a GRADIUM® singlet to replace a conventional spherical doublet. GRADIUM® lenses can be custom designed for visible or near infrared applications in diameters from 5mm to over 100mm. GRADIUM® doublets are also available for better achromatic performance and can equal the performance of conventional triplets. |

In addition, our range of products also comprises lens systems for focusing or collimating of infrared industrial lasers.
These IR lens systems are specifically optimized for wavelengths of 1.5 µm - coatings for other wavelengths are available on request. |

A sphere is the most common type of optic where at least one surface is a segment of a ball. Spheres are made with a radius of curvature from very short, on the order of 1mm, to very long, where plano is an infinite radius. Spheres are found in professional camera lenses, machine vision lines, focusing optics, and similar applications.
Optimax has one of the world's largest test plate (radius masters) libraries for making spheres. By utilizing existing test plates, which are certified to /- 0.01%, we can minimize the overall cost of a lens. In addition, Optimax can make test plates for special radii. We also make transmission spheres for interferometric testing of surface irregularity to 50th wave.

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 lens arrays, kinoform and Fresnel lens patterns, concave and off-axis lenses, and diffraction gratings.
Refractive and diffractive microlens arrays and optical components
