RAPID DELIVERY
Custom optical components have long lead times (6-8 weeks is not uncommon). This comes at a time when design cycles that were once 1-2 years are now being compressed to 3-4 months. Unfortunately, long lead times force optical engineers to use more conservative designs or delay market delivery. Now there is a better, faster path forward.
CUSTOMIZATION
Custom optics are expensive which places their use out of the financial reach of some companies and slows research progress for others. In particular, cost is prohibitive for those creating “one-offs”. Our technology largely overcomes the cost vs. quantity dilemma - we like to think of it as one-offs without the trade-offs.
GLASS
Glass has many advantages over plastic materials:
- Materials selection (wider ref. index/Abbe number range)
- Environmental durability (harder and more scratch resistant)
- Temperature resistance (lower dn/dt and less thermal expansion)
SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
Glass is hard durable material making it an ideal substrate for constructing opto-electro-mechanical systems. Integrated systems are design-enabling for many devices such as AR glasses, smartphones, micro UAVs, miniature endoscopes and so on.
