Diffractive Optics

Diffractive optics based on micro- and nanostructured surfaces offer flexible possibilities to present new optical functions which are often barely achievable with conventional optics. This opens up new areas of application for optics.

Technology

• Electron beam-lithography
  
• Grayscale-lithography

Our offer

• Optical and mechanical design specific to the application
  
• Technology advisory and production of customized elements
  
• Optical and profilometric characterization of element functions
• Production of prototyps

Applications

Diffractive micro and nano optics are applied to particular gratings for spectroscopy applications, for example:

• Astronomy,
• Compression of ultra short laser pulses,
• Computer generated holograms for the inspection of highly precise aspheres,
• Fresnel lenses and lens arrays for the homogenization of illuminations,
• Diffractive filter structures,
• Structured polarizer,
• Optics with complex features (even applicable to curved surfaces).
