Micro optics are very small optical systems, typically between a few micrometers to a millimeter in size. They include optical fibers with a microscale core diameter, mini diffractive optical elements, micro optical mirrors, lenses prisms, and arrays of lenses.
Shanghai Optics produces a wide range of custom micro optics, and we can work with you to design and develop micro-optic lens assemblies to meet your exact specifications.
Applications of Micro Optics in Modern Optical Systems
Micro optics are key elements in many modern optical systems, and Shanghai Optics supplies micro optical components to many industries and applications. Aerospace and defense, materials processing, medical and bio photonics, and industrial production all require micro-sized optics made to tight specifications.
These very small optical components play an important role in remote sensing and embedded vision systems. In medical instrumentation, our micro optics are used in imaging, medical laser spectroscopy, endoscopy and robotic surgery. The rise of high quality cameras in mobile phones has led to increased demand for tiny precision lenses and windows that durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of daily handling. One-time specialty optics like our micro sapphire windows are part of the standard structure of high-end smart phones.
