OPTICS & OPTICAL FABRICATION

At Avantier, our cutting-edge metrology equipment is employed to ensure that every lens, mirror, and optical component produced in our factory complies with all relevant standards and specifications.

Avantier's aspheric lenses are available with antireflection coatings or in uncoated forms, in glass, crystalline, or plastic substrates. State-of-the-art grinding and polishing equipment, including computer-controlled precision polishing devices and magneto-rheological finishing (MRF) technology, enable us to ensure that the surface quality is optimized for your application.

UV lenses are optical marvels, tailored for wavelengths <400 nm. Ideal for UV laser tasks, focusing, and collimation. Avantier crafts bespoke UV lenses. Depending on design and substrates, they excel beyond UV, encompassing VIS, NIR, and IR spectra alongside the UV range, especially UV fused silica lenses.

Transparent spherical balls, crafted from glass or optical materials, serve as beam collimators for optical fibers. They facilitate signal coupling between emitters, detectors, and fibers, with applications spanning endoscopy, optical sensors, and barcode scanning. Material selection hinges on numerical aperture, with prevalent choices being UV-grade fused silica, sapphire, and BK7 glass.

Infrared Germanium Aspheric Lenses are groundbreaking optics, leveraging aspheric lens design and germanium’s properties for superior infrared performance. They excel in correcting aberrations, ensuring high-quality imaging in various IR applications like thermal imaging, surveillance, remote sensing, and IR spectroscopy.

We started developing FACs more than 15 years ago. The result is highly automated in-house processes which allows for competitive prices – even with high volumes. We are an independent supplier of FACs. In addition, our customers appreciate our extensive standard portfolio and the fast, flexible production times. Benefit from our many years of experience and our first-class customer service.

Silicon lenses are normally used in the 2 to 7 µm range, its high thermal conductivity and low weight are critical features for both IR and FTIR systems. Si windows can be used as high reflectivity mirror for lasers and IR viewports. Hyperion provides 3 to 300 mm diameter Si lenses for collimating or focusing applications, with AR coating or DLC coating. Simulation coating curves available upon request.

Hyperion Optics offers a variety of Optical Filters for many applications ranging from ultraviolet, visible, to infrared. Our custom filter selection includes bandpass interference, notch, edge, dichroic, color substrate, or ND, built to your specific application requirements. We also offer highly durable hard coatings for applications that require maximum performance in harsh environments.
