Micro-optics are optical components with a size of a few micrometres to a millimetre. This includes compact lenses, lens arrays, and optical fibres with core diameters smaller than a micron. The importance of such tiny optical components for integrated optics.
Diffractive optical elements, which are often optical components whose operation cannot be explained by Snell’s law or the law of reflection, are also included in micro-optical systems.
These elements are typically macroscopically flat microstructures, built by sophisticated numerical methods based on diffraction theory, and comprise features with sizes ranging from a few wavelengths to a few tens of microns.
Micro-optics fabrication techniques, including innovative methods such variable dose direct writing utilising either UV light or an electron beam, as well as adaptations of well-established microelectronics fabrication procedures.
Additionally, because to the development of reproduction processes like injection moulding and UV casting, it is now conceivable to mass produce micro-optical components at a low cost for a variety of consumer applications.
Global micro-optics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Launch of Quantum X by Nanoscribe for the production of extremely precise microoptics.
Modern industrial microfabrication has special needs that the brand-new Nanoscribe Quantum X aims to fill. The introduction of this cutting-edge device at the international trade show LASER World of Photonics in Munich adds a new device specifically created for maskless lithography of highly precise microoptics to Nanoscribe’s portfolio of high-resolution additive manufacturing systems for the nano- and microscale.
Its small housing allows for the production of polymer masters, diffractive and refractive microoptics prototypes, and both. With easy-to-use interfaces for process control, the system has an industrial form factor.
With the use of an interactive touchscreen control panel, Quantum X software provides straightforward operation while controlling and monitoring print operations in real-time. The creators of Quantum X have worked very hard to become experts in cutting-edge user-machine interactions.
The Quantum X software offers a wizard that walks designers and engineers through the whole process of creating a print job from scratch, streamlining job preparation. The built-in programme accepts images in grayscale with any optical designs.
