Parabolic Mirrors

 Parabolic reflectors are used to collect energy from a distant source (for example sound waves or incoming star light). Since the principles of reflection are reversible, parabolic reflectors can also be used to focus radiation from an isotropic source into a narrow beam. In optics, parabolic mirrors are used to gather light in reflecting telescopes and solar furnaces, and project a beam of light in flashlights, searchlights, stage spotlights, and car headlights. In radio, parabolic antennas are used to radiate a narrow beam of radio waves for point-to-point communications in satellite dishes and microwave relay stations, and to locate aircraft, ships, and vehicles in radar sets. In acoustics, parabolic microphones are used to record faraway sounds such as bird calls, in sports reporting, and to eavesdrop on private conversations in espionage and law enforcement.

 

Parabolic mirrors are typically designed as a segment of a larger parabola, manufactured from a metal substrate such as aluminum and coated in enhanced aluminum, silver or gold as standard. These mirrors focus light similar to a concave mirror with the significant exception being that the off-axis parabolic design redirects the incident light through 90%.

 

Custom mirrors may be manufactured in a range of substrates and alternative coatings as required by our customer's specifications including UV and IR coatings and materials and alternative reflection angles. We have parabolic reflectors for sale, if you want to buy parabolic mirror, please contact us. Because we have special parabolic mirror design service.

IR Asphere Lenses

 Hyperion Optics works with various infrared materials. In recent years, we have seen a growing demand of IR aspheric components due to their ability to reduce the number of elements within the system while maintaining reliable performance; this makes aspherical parts an excellent choice in Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) projects. Our aspheric manufacturing capability covers from 0.8 micron upwards to 12 micron for IR application, from a combination of materials needed in order to reach the required application needs.

 

Equipped with Ametek Single-Point Diamond Turning machine, Hyperion Optics is capable of processing the following infrared and UV materials for aspheric components:

 

UV materials as aspheric components

 

(CVD CLEARTRAN available

 

Zinc Sulfide (CVD CLEARTRAN available), Zinc Selenide, Germanium, Chalcogenide glasses (available in both Schott and NHG IRG materials), Calcium fluoride, and Silicon.  

 

Please contact our experienced engineers for performance consultation and print assessment.

 

 

MOQ starts at two pieces to ensure optical performance approval. Our fast asphere prototyping has become one of our most popular services for Low Ratio Initial Production (LRIP) projects. We can process both spherical and aspherical parts simultaneously for custom objective and/or eyepiece designs, thereby securing reliable timeline management to meet the tight timing requirement. In addition, we offer competitive pricing for aspheric coating within our prototyping packages.

 

Our rapid aspheric prototyping / LRIP service in SWIR MWIR and LWIR include:

 

1.   Built to print, Hyperion infrared camera lens and provides inspection report by your print.

 

2.   There is a lack of Chalcogenide materials integration in optical designs for IR applications, which is a big missed opportunity. At Hyperion Optics, the combination of Chalcogenide glasses and regular IR materials can provide a cost-effective solution with superior optical performance.

 

3.   Hyperion Optics runs in-depth mapping and optical performance tests on component-level and/or infrared camera lenses system level products; and provides redesign, optimization, manufacturing, and assembly services.

 

4.   For SWIR prototyping projects, we adopt injection molding processing for Schott and Ohara glasses at prototyping quantities, which can avoid purchasing high-cost raw materials from overseas, and hence dramatically reduces material investment at the prototyping phase.

Rapid Prototyping

 LRIP Rapid Prototyping

 

Hyperion Optics has cutting advantages to provide customer rapid prototyping service no matter your project is LRIP (Low ratio initial production) or on concept approval purpose.

 

Various fast material accesses, such as Schott, Ohara and CDGM. We also offer mold pressed substrates for prototyping at competitive price

More than 6000+ test plate, which will dramatically shorten the overall lead time to deliver

Specialized optics prototyping production team, better internal resources aiming at deliver within 4 weeks, from grinding, polishing to coating

 

We encourage customer to communicate with us before your design closure, to verify with us per the material availability, material lead time, best solution of substrates selection and even fabrication tolerance definition, consultation is totally free. We always provide the most practical suggestions to avoid unnecessary extended delivery.

 

Fast Molded Substrates

 

Raw Material Preparation Pressing vs. Slicing (Prototyping Qty)

 

Sometimes, designers might come across with situations such as 5-10 set lenses, more than 5 sphere elements from different glass vendors; rarely can they find a price competitive manufacturing solution, since the right sized materials availability.

 

Unlike most Chinese vendors, Hyperion Optics has full access to Schott and Ohara glasses. Please see our glass stock for your reference . Furthermore, all glass listed are all in pre-annealed sheet form. This pressed substrates solution has +/-0.00002 precision refractive index tolerance after fine annealing; typical lead time is 2 weeks from P.O. placement.

 

Our engineers will calculate to advice whether manufacture from glass strip or molded substrates with consideration of your project scale, to reach the most cost effective result. We have direct support from domestic glass molding vendors who strategically offer low MOQ molding service with the most reliable annealing technology, totally no waste of your precious project budget.

 

Flexible Manufacturing Planning

 

Hyperion Optics equipped with the most advanced manufacturing devices, meanwhile for LRIP projects, we can easily mobilize internal resources.

 

1. Test plate match. Hyperion Optics has more than 6000+ test plate, meaning if our test plate stock radius data match your design, you do not need to pay for the test plate as well as a relative lead time can be shortened.

2. High surface accuracy by conventional processing method. Our polishing operators have nearly 20 years’ experience, supremely qualified for elements with 1/8-1/10 lambda surface flatness job.

3. Our aspherical machining and polishing techniques ensure you don’t need to procure aspherical parts somewhere else.

4. For regular visible coating specs, LRIP projects can be arranged along with our regular daily coating operation, cost less.
