Fluorescence Filters

 

Fluorescent filter are a class of filters classified by application type.

 

Fluorescence Filter is a fluorescence imaging filter for biomedical and life science instruments, the key components, the main role is in the biomedical fluorescence analysis system for the separation and selection of substances in the excitation and emission fluorescence Of the spectral characteristics of the band. It is usually required that the filter cut-off depth be greater than OD5 (optical density, OD = -lgT). The core requirements for filters used in fluorescence detection systems are high cut-off steepness, high transmittance, high positioning accuracy, high cut-off depth, and excellent environmental stability.

 

fluorescence microscopy filters is a combination of three, three are excitation filters, emission filters and dichroic filters.

 

Excitation Filter (Exciter Filter, Excitation Filter, Excitation Filter): In the fluorescence microscope, only the excitation wavelength of the filter can pass through the fluorescence. In the past, a short-pass filter was used, and now a band-pass filter is basically used. The housing is marked with arrows indicating the direction of propagation of the recommended light.

 

Emission Filter (Emitter Filter, Emitter): Select and transmit the fluorescence emitted by the sample, the other range of light cut-off. The wavelength of the emitted light is longer than the wavelength of the excitation light (closer to red). A band-pass filter or a long-wave-pass filter may be selected as the emission filter. The housing is marked with arrows indicating the direction of propagation of the recommended light.

 

Dichroic Mirror (Dichromic Beamsplitter, Dichromatic Beamsplitter): also known as dichroic mirrors or dichroic mirrors. And placed at an angle of 45 ° to the optical path of the microscope. This filter reflects one color of light (excitation light) and transmits another color of light (emitted light), the reflectivity of the excitation light is greater than 90% and the transmittance of the emitted light is greater than 90%. The impervious portion of the spectrum is reflected rather than absorbed. Filter in the transmitted light and reflected light color complement each other, and thus also known as dichroic filters.

 

Our fluorescence filters are designed for fluorescence imaging applications, with durability in mind and high-performance optical specifications in manufacturing. The filter substrate is made of quartz, which can achieve 1/10 lambda surface accuracy, while the thermal expansion coefficient of quartz is relatively small, can obtain higher image quality.

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 aspherical lens glasses 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.

Achromatic Lenses

 

Definition of achromatic

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 achromatic lenses include achromatic triplet lenses, achromatic doublet lenses and achromatic cylindrical lenses. 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.

 

For more information about achromatic definition, please feel free to contact us!

Multichannel Filter

Multichannel filter differ from conventional bandpass filters by allowing only one continuous band of light to pass through it, allowing two or more bands of light to pass through.

 

Multi-channel filters can be achieved on a filter to achieve the need for multiple general filter stack to achieve the effect, making the design more compact, and can reduce costs.

 

This filter in the optical communications, infrared and medical applications have a wide range.

LWIR Lenses

LWIR optics

lwir lens

 

LWIR lens plays a critical role in thermal imaging surveillance applications, beyond night vision capability, critical targets differentiation in poor vision conditions is considered the most practical attribute in homeland security and defense market segmentation.

 

Compared to the cooled system, which focal plane array detector kept at -70℃ needs cooling support, uncooled cameras are much more affordable. Aside from superior sensitivity of the cooling system, the uncooled system is dominating the market for surveillance and automobile segmentation due to its cost.

 

On the other hand, in short distance surveillance applications, the uncooled system is the best choice, but the cameras have to be equipped with objectives that have the larger focal length to maintain resolution. Meanwhile, the F number will increase due to the same entrance aperture, which will dramatically reduce the amount of light for detection. In return, the uncooled system becomes insensitive. Thus, the cost is driven by increasing the aperture (larger lens), eventually, drives uncooled LWIR solution more expensive than cooled version.

 

Germanium is frequently used for LWIR optics lenses as its high refractive index in LWIR wave band; However, Germanium has large thermal drift which causes expected defocus with temperature change. Hyperion Optics provides sophisticated design that balance defocus and secure stable performance in consideration of defocusing attributes of the lens, by using ZnSe (8 times better thermal defocusing compare to Germanium)

 

In LWIR design, Hyperion Optics optical designers also conduct thorough calculation of what happens to the housing with the impact of thermal expansion. Aluminum is frequently used as housing, for example, a 20mm long aluminum housing will increase by 28 microns if the temperature increases for 60℃, the 28-micron change can be considered the same as the LWIR system’s depth of focus.

 

At hyp design, we conduct both passive mechanical and passive optical solutions for the best to eliminate the thermal impact in thermalization system development. For a passive mechanical solution, we develop inner and outer cell separated by a spacer, geometrically precise machine the spacer with the right material to attain a thermal expansion equal and opposite to the combined effect of the lenses and rest of the housing over the whole temperature range. The spacer pushes the inner cell back to the right position to keep the lens in focus. Find out more by talking or writing to us for your current LWIR needs for our passive optical solution for your own LRIP Optics Project.

 

Our Advantage of LWIR Lens Design and Manufacturing:

 

Integration of ZnSe conic surface

 

The combination of refractive and diffractive optical lenses for maintaining low F number and Athermal pre-parties without mechanical compensation need.

 

Chalcogenide material can be combined in design and manufacturing to approach the expected compensation for thermal expansion.
