Why Choose Aspherical Plastic Optics?
Aspherical lenses offer a level of design freedom that spherical lenses simply cannot match. By allowing for complex optical designs with ease of integration, aspherical lenses:
- Enable even 2-3 times shorter total track lengths in optical systems.
- Up to 2 times larger aperture, improving light-gathering power.
- Allow for the design of integrated mechanical edge areas for easy assembly of the lens stack..
Our unique approach involves direct diamond turning, a revolutionary technique for producing lower-cost aspherical and freeform optics with exceptional accuracy. Unlike traditional injection molding, which can cost between 100,000 to 500,000 euros for a multi-lens system, our direct diamond turning method offers a lot faster, cheaper, and more flexible alternative.
