Tech Spec Precision Aspheric Lenses

Edmund has the expertise and equipment to produce aspherical optical components from 10 to 200 mm diameter with e/20 accuracy. Not only does Edmund offer its customers access to this technology, they have used it to fabricate a stock of reasonably priced Tech Spec aspheric lenses with clear apertures from 15 to 25 mm and effective focal lengths from 11.25 to 37.5 mm. Because these lenses have aspheric surfaces, they can provide sharp images at optical speeds up to ƒ/0.75.

The company said its state-of-the-art environmentally controlled aspheric manufacturing facility houses advanced aspheric grinding and polishing equipment coupled with magnetorheological finishing technology for super-accurate lens polishing. This facility produces high-departure aspheric geometries (>100 µm departure) that Edmund said can be manufactured rapidly and cost effectively in glass, ceramic or crystalline materials.

According to Edmund, its commercial off-the-shelf Tech Spec lenses offer the benefits of an aspheric design performance combined with the manufacturing precision of state-of-the-art grinding and polishing equipment. With the available prescription data, optical designers can easily integrate these lenses into complex state-of-the-art optical systems. Featuring high lens speeds for optimum light gathering and focusing performance, these lenses are computer optimized to eliminate spherical and minimize higher order aberrations.
