Optical Components
Discover a large number of user-specific elements and off-the-shelf optics – from high-quality aspheres, axicons and aspheric cylinders through mirrors and reflectors to ultra-precise mounted optics, freeforms and doublets. With the latest technologies we manufacture optical components in various shapes for all wavelengths, using a wide range of materials from more than 100 optical glasses, crystals, polymers, ceramics and metals.
Optical Systems
asphericon specializes in the design, development and production of complete assemblies and optical systems. Our team will guide you from initial feasibility analysis through prototype development to precise system integration. Take advantage of our in-house manufactured high precision mounts, assembly in ISO 5 and ISO 7 certified clean rooms, and standardized testing and documentation procedures.
Freeforms
Freeform surfaces have no rotational symmetry and therefore allow the implementation of completely new concepts for optical systems. The use of freeforms reduces the number of elements in an optical setup, allowing for smaller, lighter and more efficient systems.
Optical Design
In addition to the optical design of refractive, diffractive and reflective elements, our expertise includes system design optimized for the requirements of ultrashort laser pulses. When realizing individual design solutions, we focus on development, production times and outstanding quality, while always keeping an eye on economic efficiency.
Optical Coating
High-end coatings for your demanding products with outstanding quality and reasonable delivery times. Equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing and metrology technologies, our experienced team of technicians turns coating ideas into reality.
BeamTuning
Beam expansion and beam shaping beyond the diffraction limit – BeamTuning by asphericon. The complete system consists of beam expanders, fiber collimators, beam shapers as well as intra- and cross-system adapters for a wide wavelength range (355 nm, 500 – 1600 nm). An intelligent mounting concept ensures easy and time-saving handling. No adjustments required. Discover Plug & Play at its best.
