APPLICATIONS

Where precision becomes function.

Optical tooling, photonic components, sensors and terahertz research applications. Each application starts with a review of its specific material, geometry and requirements.

Optical tooling

Mould and tool inserts for optical-quality surfaces, lens arrays and structured components.

Optics and photonics

Aspheric, freeform and reflective components developed around the operating wavelength.

Sensing and automotive optics

Precision components for LiDAR, infrared, imaging and beam-shaping development.

Terahertz research

Crystal surfaces, microstructures and THz optical components that turn research ideas into experimental parts.

Microstructures and functional surfaces

Grooved, periodic and custom surfaces whose structure is part of their function.

Measurement and validation: part of every application →

START WITH THE APPLICATION

Which surface makes the difference?

Define the function, choose the process and agree the evidence before manufacturing.

REPLICATION · LIGHTING · LENS ARRAYS

Plan the insert around the replicated optic.

For a lens array or light-guiding insert, the required light distribution and moulding direction define the task together. A critical feature or trial insert can be evaluated first; results from the replicated part can then guide a tooling revision.

Value: tooling development stays connected to optical performance.

Define together

Optical profile, release direction, edge radii, material/coating, moulding shrinkage and inspection of the replicated part.

LASERS · INFRARED · LAB OPTICS

The mirror and its mounting belong together.

An off-axis mirror or aspheric reflector performs its role only when correctly positioned. The manufacturing plan connects optical surfaces to mechanical datums. Material and coating requirements are defined for the wavelength and operating environment.

Value: assembly-critical datums are addressed early.

Define together

Clear aperture, wavelength, mounting, coating, thermal loading and optical testing in the system.

Your next stepDiscuss a mirror or optical component

LIDAR · IMAGING · BEAM SHAPING

A component built for the system trial.

For sensor optics, shaping emitted light and collecting the returning signal are separate tasks. A prototype may evaluate field of view, light distribution or integration geometry, each requiring different surface and mechanical priorities.

Value: the first component can answer a defined system-level question.

Define together

Wavelength, optical role, moving mass, mechanical interface and environmental loading. Automotive qualification is a separate project scope.

UNIVERSITY OF PÉCS · CRYSTAL · EXPERIMENT

Connect sample geometry to the research question.

For a stepped crystal surface or THz reflector, machining and experimental plans can be developed together. Defined sample identities and geometric inspection connect surface variants to research testing, making different results comparable.

Value: local machining can connect directly with university research questions.

Define together

Crystal orientation, edge condition, sample geometry, handling, experimental conditions and use of results.

Your next stepDiscuss a THz research sample

MICRO-OPTICS · FUNCTIONAL SURFACES

Local profiles matter as much as the whole surface.

For gratings, grooves and periodic surfaces, we define profile shape, depth and edge condition alongside pitch. A targeted test area explores the interaction between tool geometry, material and the required local form.

Value: a small test area can provide useful evidence for the full structure.

Define together

Base surface, pitch, depth, corner radius, measurement resolution and a separate functional test.

Your next stepPlan a microstructured sample

FORM · TOPOGRAPHY · FUNCTION

Define the evidence of acceptance in advance.

A roughness value alone does not establish form accuracy or optical performance. The inspection plan therefore records the method, evaluation area and acceptance criterion for each characteristic. On-machine feedback and independent functional tests answer different questions.

Value: acceptance is based on requirements both parties can interpret consistently.

Define together

Datums, aperture, filtering, reported parameter, measurement uncertainty and responsibility for each test.
