Buying Aspheric 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.

![]() Your Custom Optics Expert Shanghai Optics Inc.425 Main St Suite 2E Metuchen, NJ 08840 United States | ![]() 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. |
![]() Your reliable partner for photonics innovations! EKSMA Optics, UABDvarcioniu St. 2B LT-10233 Vilnius Lithuania | ![]() 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. |
![]() A635, Boke Mansion No. 9 Xiyuan Road Xihu District, Hangzhou 310030 China | ![]() 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. |
