Aspheric lenses offer a powerful single element solution for collimating or focusing light to a diffraction-limited spot without introducing aberrations
Kaleido Technology has announced the availability of affordable, high precision moulded glass aspheric lenses ranging in diameter from 3-50mm.
Kaleido Technology offers precision-moulded glass aspheres in a variety of geometries and glass types.
Proprietary state-of-the-art free form machining equipment has provided Kaleido Technology with world-leading freedom in generating lens geometries without sacrificing the cost-effectiveness of precision-moulding technology.
Precision glass lenses including spherical, aspherical, cylindrical, aspheric cylindrical, and free-form (non-symmetric) geometries can be designed in prototype quantities, small batches or volume manufacturing runs.
Lenses may be plano-convex, plano-concave, bi-convex, bi-concave, or convex-concave.
Kaleido Technology moulded aspheric lenses are produced using a unique precision-moulding technology.
This technology not only produces superior quality, long-life moulded lenses, it also provides Kaleido with the flexibility to select from the widest range of optical glasses to choose the material best suited to the application.
Typical surface quality tolerances achieved with Kaleido moulded aspheric lenses are surface roughness of less than 5nm, form error of less than one fringe and axial alignment of less than three minutes of arc.
Investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing technology supported by a highly experienced team of engineers and optical designers enables Kaleido to provide knowledgeable support for customers seeking informed technical advice or a competitive price for high volume standard aspheric lenses such as are used in barcode scanners, laser optics and the graphics industry.
Kaleido Technology is a European manufacturer of OEM discrete and integrated optical components and sub-systems.
Through innovative production methods the company seeks to provide high precision optics and optical systems at competitive prices.
