Aspheric Optical Lens

The complex surface profile of an asphere can significantly reduce or even eliminate spherical aberrations comparing to spherical lenses. Hence, asphericals have been increasingly more widely explored and adopted during the optical design stage.

Aspheres can replace a complex multi-element spherical system to achieve a lighter and more compact optical system. The resulting design has higher transmittance and in most cases, costs less than the multi-lens spherical design, especially at production volumes.

Hyperion Optics is equipped with the Optotech aspheric CNC machine that offers Contour Deterministic Micro Grinding (CDMG) service – the machine grinds the optical material to achieve ultra-high precision shape by leveraging the accuracy and repeatability of a computerized, numerically-controlled machine mechanism. Our process begins by grinding the bulk raw material into the closest fitting sphere, and then contouring the aspheric shape from edge to center. Typical available materials within our fabrication capabilities are optical glass, ZnSe, ZnS, BaF2, GaAs, and chalcogenide glass types. We also accept materials supplied by our clients

1. Off-the-shelf aspheric parts do not fit perfectly in your system, Hyperion Optics can design and manufacture the custom aspheric lenses based on your system-level optical requirements.

2. You need custom, built-to-print aspheric lenses. Hyperion Optics fabricates custom aspheric lens and provides complete inspection reports per your print requirements.

3. Reverse engineering is required on an existing lens where you need to replace. Hyperion Optics runs in-depth mapping and optical performance testing on all lens products prior to reverse engineering; then, we proceed to redesign and system optimization and finally, manufacturing and assembly.

Please contact one of our asphere experts today and find out how a custom aspheric lens can help enhance and optimize your current lens system.

As one of aspheric lens manufacturers, we have types of aspheric glasses for sale, if you have needs, please contact us.
