Buying Aspheric Optics

Top-level product category: icon optical components and devices

Related product categories: free form optics, lenses, achromatic optics

Aspheric optical elements feature non-spherical surfaces that correct for spherical aberrations, enhancing image quality in devices such as cameras, telescopes, and microscopes. These optics often allow for fewer components and improved performance in optical systems, making them essential for high-precision applications.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying aspheric optics. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for aspheric optics. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

aspheric optics

Hangzhou Shalom EO offers various types of stock and custom aspheric lenses including plano-convex/concave, biconvex/biconcave, meniscus, ball/half ball versions, etc. We are capable of providing both precision polished and glass-molded aspheric lenses. Shalom EO engages the MRF (magneto-rheological finishing) and SPDT (single point diamond turning) techniques in our production line, where the high-precision polishing technique contributes to true diffraction-limited spot sizes and the lowest wavefront error of the lenses.

Shalom EO’s aspheric lenses include two categories: collimation and condenser lenses. Aspheric collimation lenses are an excellent option for collimating light emerging from fibers or laser diodes. Available substrate materials include optical glass (e.g. N-BK7, fused silica), Ge, ZnSe, Si, and more. Coating options encompass uncoated, MgF2 single-layer AR coating, laser line V-coating, and BBAR coatings, where a wide selection of diameters is accessible.

In addition, Shalom EO also provides fast axis collimators (FAC lenses) and slow axis collimators (SAC lenses) optimized for laser bars and collimating lights from diode lasers into fibers.

aspheric optics

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.
