In the intricate world of optical engineering, the quality of components is paramount to the performance of optical systems. ATOPTIK excels in this domain by employing advanced Cemented techniques to create high-quality Cemented lenses and prisms. These methods not only enhance the optical performance but also ensure the durability and reliability of the components.
Optical Cemented plays a crucial role in improving image quality, eliminating chromatic aberration, reducing light loss, enhancing imaging brightness, simplifying the fabrication of optical components, and protecting their surfaces. Two primary techniques are employed in optical Cemented: adhesive Cemented and optical contacting.
Adhesive Cemented: involves using optical-grade adhesives to join two or more lenses, prisms, or mirrors into a single optical element. This method is particularly effective for its versatility and the ability to meet precise technical requirements, such as ensuring centering errors or angular errors are minimized. The adhesive must meet stringent criteria, including high light transmittance, minimal shrinkage during curing, high mechanical strength, and excellent chemical and thermal stability.
Optical Cemented, relies on the molecular attraction between two polished surfaces to form a bond. This method is advantageous as it introduces no intermediary material, preserving the optical properties of the components. However, it requires high surface precision, making it suitable for large-diameter components and complex optical systems.
ATOPTIK specializes in producing high-quality Cemented lenses and prisms using both adhesive Cemented and optical contacting techniques. These components are meticulously crafted to meet the exacting standards required in various optical applications.
