Plastic aspheric lenses are less costly and lighter than glass elements. For most applications, plastic optical components can meet the most demanding optical requirements, but at a much lower price than glass lenses. Our precision injection molding technique combined with specialized skills allows us to produce a variety of plastic optics. Plastic lenses can be coated. A number of different coatings are available that can improve abrasion resistance and minimize reflections.
Shanghai Optics offers off-the-shelf and custom designed molded and polished plastic aspheric elements for a wide variety of illumination and imaging applications. Quality assurance is guaranteed through our modern production line and inspection instruments, which ensures all components are fabricated and coated in a consistent manner.
