Microlens arrays are rigid arrangements of very tiny lenses, each with a diameter of less than 10 millimeters. Microlens arrays are used in optical microscopes and light fields cameras, on CCD arrays, and for 3D imaging and displays, fiber coupling, optical sensors, and LIDAR systems.
Refractive microlens arrays utilize refraction to bend light, ideal for beam shaping and transformation. Diffractive microlens arrays use diffraction, creating light interference patterns, and are valuable in optical communication and medical aesthetics where precise light control is crucial.
At Shanghai optics, we produce both 1- and 2- dimensional arrays, in a variety of different configurations, sizes, and focal lengths. These arrays are manufactured from high quality fused silica, and optimal performance range is from 193 nm to 2.5 micrometers. The index of refraction of these arrays are 1.561 at 248 nm, and 1.444 at 1550 nm.
