Unique advantages of polymers in optical applications
-
Improved Performance with Aspherics and DiffractivesAspheric surfaces can greatly improve performance and reduce the number of components required. Aspherics, which can capture more light and thereby increase coupling efficiency, are easily and reliably manufactured with polymers. Diffractive surfaces enable unique beam shaping and lend themselves to a family of photonic applications.
-
Multi-function ComponentsBy allowing multi-focal optics, multi-element optics, integrated mountings, and minimized discrete surfaces, polymers can dramatically reduce material and assembly costs.
-
Reduced FootprintIntegration of optical and mechanical features enables miniaturization, as stack up tolerances are minimized. Integration of optics and mechanical features also allows passive alignment in customers’ assembly process.
-
Value-Added AssembliesSophisticated finishing processes such as thin-film coating for color management and EMI shielding are available to provide additional functionality and performance to miniature subassemblies.
-
Improved Impact ResistanceMolded polymer components provide impact resistance many times greater than their glass counterparts.

Advanced Materials Science
We have over 25 years of experience with challenging, high-temperature materials for optics.
As one of the early partners in the development of these materials, and the largest consumer of Ultem
for plastic optics in North America, we continue to research and develop new materials and
enhancements to meet the evolving needs of the market. Through our unique processing capability,
we are the only manufacturer worldwide to produce high-temperature optics in differing levels of
transmission specified to +/- 0.1 dB.

Innovative Mold Design
Our ability to lead the industry in high-precision molded optics depends on our
innovative and proprietary mold designs. These capabilities have resulted in
industry-leading tolerances at micron levels in multicavity tooling, including complex
mechanical features and multiple optical surfaces. We have been manufacturing
high-volume computer peripheral optics in molds as large as 16 cavity for over 10
years, having been the first to develop the capability.
