Infrared Lenses

 Si, Ge, ZnS, ZnSe High Precision Lenses. SWIR, MWIR, LWIR Components

 

We work on a wide range of infrared materials that covers almost full infrared spectrum. Hyperion Optics supplies Zinc Selenide, Zinc Sulfide, Silicon, Germanium, Gallium Arsenide, and Calcium Fluoride, Barium Fluoride as well as Chalcogenide spherical lenses and aspherical lenses. We use laser based edging device to control MWIR and LWIR lenses’ decenter deviation, and test on reflective centering station to fulfill extreme precise tasks.

 

Zinc Selenide has great transmittance through the band 0.5-22μm, especially at 10.6μm, and is commonly used in thermal imaging and FLIR systems, also its outstanding low absorption coefficient and high resistance to thermal shock makes it an ideal choice for high power CO2 laser applications. For laser ZnSe components please browse our Laser Optics category for more information.

 

Since Zinc Selenide is a relatively soft material that scratches and digs can be easily remained on the surfaces during processing flow, it is not recommended for use within harsh environments, Hyperion Optics' advanced manufacturing techniques for ZnSe ensure superior surface quality compared to our competitors. For cosmetic sensitive systems, our best effort can reach 20-10 in S/D grade. ZnSe aspheric lenses are also available for your application; please refer to IR Aspheric Lenses for more information. ZnSe Dome optics are also available in our Dome category.

Calcium Fluoride and UV Fused Silica Elements

 

Broadband Color-Corrected Design from 193nm to 1000nm

 

Ideal for Fluorescence and Spectroscopy Applications

 

Achromatic Triplet Lens Specs

Designed with broadband applications in mind, our UV-to-NIR corrected lenses provide a consistent focal length (see chromatic shift information below) and spherical aberrations free performance for wavelengths ranging from 193nm to 1000nm. Manufactured with premier grades of Calcium Fluoride and Fused Silica, these infinite-conjugate triplets are perfect for imaging applications utilizing a wide spectrum of wavelengths. Typical uses include fluorescence research in which the emitted light is in the visible and near infrared regions of the spectrum or in dual-pass systems in which the same lens is used to illuminate the excitation material as well as collect the emissions from it.

Achromatic Doublet Lenses



 At Hyperion Optics, with decades fabrication experiences, we have been providing our customer a vast number of achromatic lenses for their applications in different precision grades, please check our test plate radius available online for download to save your cost on custom achromatic doublet design. Particularly for cost-sensitive design, our series production capability always ensures a satisfying pricing solution.

 

As optical designers widely use doublets which contribute latitude to eliminate chromatic and spherical aberrations more thoroughly. We also provide excellent suggestions for glass material selection in individual design as we distinguish the importance of refractive index precision in material selection stage despite the design data in software.

 

Universally, with particular flint glass designers might choose, certain glass’ deliquescence attribute lead to cosmetic failure after polishing, or even affect the transmission after coating. Let us help to avoid such problem in your design to live process.

 

As a reliable optical assembly manufacturing company, we are also able to provide custom design in large diameter up to 8 inches achromatic lenses, including cylindrical and achromatic triplet lenses.

 

For extremely precision sensitive system requirement, please contact us for further information, our engineers are more than happy to evaluate your design and have our experiences of manufacturing input help to define the most appropriate tolerances.

Achromatic Cylindrical Lenses

 Achromatic cylindrical lenses are ideal for eliminating spherical and chromatic aberration at the image plane, for example using monochromatic light source, achromatic cylindrical lenses can form a 50-90% smaller spot comparing to a singlet lens.

 

Achromatic cylindrical lenses are typically introduced into system designs for the highest-power laser or imaging applications, such as anamorphic projection and anamorphic photography, Hyperion Optics can manufacture such lenses based on the custom design doublet or triplet achromatic cylindrical cemented lenses by using centering alignment device with UV curing unit, which allows us to process precision bonding and testing simultaneously. Every singlet is fully inspected before bonding.

 

We are capable of producing achromatic objective lens up to 150mm in diameter with reliable anti-reflective coatings, centering precisely controlled on the optical edging device, and surface accuracy strictly defined on Zygo. Further, we also help our clients with adopting Chinese CDGM or NHG equivalents in achromatic cylindrical design, offering a flexible and quick-turnaround solution in LRIP cases.

 

Please check out our anamorphic lenses for more information. If you are in the stage of developing your own anamorphic lenses, don’t hesitate to contact one of our optical engineers for a free consultation to receive design input/ suggestions from the manufacturing perspective.

 

In addition to the achromatic cylindrical lens, we also provide achromatic triplet lenses and achromatic doublet lenses for your needs.

Achromatic Lenses

 Achromatic Lens Design 


Achromatic Spherical Lenses, Cemented Lenses, Bonded Lenses, Doublet, Triplet

 

With over a decade of production experience, we have significantly improved our achromatic spherical and cylindrical lenses manufacturing. From the beginning stage during evaluation, we help customers with material selection for cemented elements, thoroughly analyze potential production risks, and assess the cementing precision definition of the prints.

 

As an optical design manufacturing company, we are able to provide flint and crown glasses bonding solution with meniscus elements edged on optical edging device with precision wedge control. Our super achromatic lens include achromatic triplet lenses, achromatic doublet lenses and achromatic cylindrical lens. Our production team is also specialized in doublet and triplet fabrication with calcium fluoride (CaF2) lenses, which require special adhesive treatment for extended durability.

 

Our bonding operators carefully pair the individual lenses regarding radius (power), center thickness (CT) to ensure adhesive thickness and accurate CT control for high-precision requirement. We utilize UV curing / cold bonding techniques on different glass materials in order to enable operators eliminating center deviation on upgraded centering station. For doublet and triplet diameters exceed one inch, 0.6 arc min to 0.8 arc min is our standard wedge control precision.

 

We can precisely control the center thickness of doublets to within +/-0.04mm, triplet within +/-0.05mm for airspace sensitive design. A design that includes OHARA and SCHOTT glasses typically take longer due to material supplier’s lead time (>6 weeks); our engineering team can speed up the procurement process by helping you select compatible materials from our glass inventory database and dramatically reduce lead time to within one week to have the substrates ready.
