Where to Buy Aspheric Optics

We offer custom aspheric lenses. Single point diamond turning and molding capabilities. Available materials: optical glass, Si, Ge, chalcogenide glass, ZnSe.

As an alternative to a multi-lens system, Knight Optical offers a wide range of high-quality aspheric optics including fire-polished and plastic aspheric lenses. Custom VIS and IR aspheric lenses are available including diamond turned infrared aspheric lenses, moulded glass aspheric lenses, including with diffraction-limited performance.

Precision aspheric lenses reduce visual defects and produce clearer images, making them ideal for many applications. In addition, because the surface of an aspheric lens is designed and formed to effectively reduce aberration in specific applications, custom aspheric lenses make flexible solutions to complex problems. At Shanghai Optics, we use two main methods to produce custom aspheric lenses: molding and traditional polishing with the state-of-the-art manufacturing and metrology equipment.

AMS Techno­logies offers a broad selection of aspheric optics for applications in the visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) wavebands such as collimation, focusing and coupling of fibers and lasers:

• precision molded-glass aspheric lenses at an affordable price while maintaining highest quality
• precision molded-glass infrared aspheric lenses
• aspheric lens assemblies, standard or customized
• thermal imaging lens assemblies
• customization and design of new aspheric lenses

Ex-stock delivery of CNC precision polished plano-convex aspherical lenses made of N-BK7, high refractive index S-LAH64 glass or UV fused silica. EKSMA Optics can design and produce custom-tailored aspheres with anti-reflection coatings to suit your particular laser application.

Edmund Optics offers various aspheric lenses, including CNC polished lenses, infrared lenses with diffraction-limited performance, precision glass molded lenses, color-corrected lenses, condenser lenses and plastic molded lenses.

As optical systems are pushed to be better, faster, and cheaper, it becomes necessary to explore aspheric solutions. Aspherical elements eliminate monochromatic aberrations (e.g. spherical aberration) and improve focusing and collimating accuracy.
