Diffractive Optical Elements

 Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs) have complex microstructural surfaces to manipulate (or “shape”) and split laser beams in an energy-efficient manner to achieve the desired optical functions. DOEs can achieve minimal light loss and enhance optical systems due to its lightweight and compact size and its ability to substitute multiple elements.

 

DOEs can be used in a wide range of applications, especially but not just for laser systems. Laser material processing, biotechnology, medical and diagnostic instruments, lighting, lithography, measurement, and metrology systems are all areas where DOEs can add value. In recent years, Hyperion’s DOEs fabrication techniques have become increasingly mature and cost-effective. DOEs are used to pattern light in work areas for custom illumination. Hyperion Optics offers DOEs for all wavelengths across the spectrum.

 

Hyperion Optics is able to expand our DOE manufacturing capability to Chalcogenide glass types to fully take into the benefits of aspherical and diffractive surfaces within one element for IR applications. Contact Hyperion to learn more about how DOEs can enhance your system design today.

 

As a reliable systems partner, Hyperion Optics supports its customers at all phases, from the initial concept to manufacturing and system integration. Our short production cycles added further advantages to a quick turnaround from development to serial production.

Asphere Lenses

 The complex surface profile of an asphere can significantly reduce or even eliminate spherical aberrations comparing to spherical lenses. Hence, asphericals have been increasingly more widely explored and adopted during the optical design stage.

 

Aspheres can replace a complex multi-element spherical system to achieve a lighter and more compact optical system. The resulting design has higher transmittance and in most cases, costs less than the multi-lens spherical design, especially at production volumes.

 

Hyperion Optics is equipped with the Optotech aspheric CNC machine that offers Contour Deterministic Micro Grinding (CDMG) service – the machine grinds the optical material to achieve ultra-high precision shape by leveraging the accuracy and repeatability of a computerized, numerically-controlled machine mechanism. Our process begins by grinding the bulk raw material into the closest fitting sphere, and then contouring the aspheric shape from edge to center. Typical available materials within our fabrication capabilities are optical glass, ZnSe, ZnS, BaF2, GaAs, and chalcogenide glass types. We also accept materials supplied by our clients

 

Optical Machining Centers capability:

 

Capacities from 5mm to 400mm

1,000 to 24,000 rpm tool spindle

Automatic curve correction

Tool & Workpiece probing system

Dual tool spindles option

 

Hyperion’s manufacturing procedure eliminates the need for additional investment on tooling and processing fixtures for spherical substrates and preparation, thereby giving customers a quick start to the production schedule. While the aspheric part is being grounded, the profilometer will conduct and transfer measured data to the polisher. In our polishing process, our experienced operators can control the aspheric form error within 1 micron (depending on the diameter of the parts).

 

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 a 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 package is ideal for you if:

 

1.   Off-the-shelf aspheric parts do not fit perfectly in your system, Hyperion Optics can design and manufacture the custom aspheric lenses based on your system-level optical requirements.

 

2.   You need custom, built-to-print aspheric lenses. Hyperion Optics fabricates custom aspheric lens and provides complete inspection reports per your print requirements.

 

3.   Reverse engineering is required on an existing lens where you need to replace. Hyperion Optics runs in-depth mapping and optical performance testing on all lens products prior to reverse engineering; then, we proceed to redesign and system optimization and finally, manufacturing and assembly.

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 objective lens 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 cylindrical lenses 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.

Achromatic Lenses

 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.

 

We are able to provide flint and crown glasses bonding solution with meniscus elements edged on optical edging device with precision wedge control. 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.
