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. 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.
