Diffractive Optical Elements for Polymer-Specific Applications
Jenoptik develops reflection and transmission gratings made from polymers of all types.
Diffractive optical elements can perform many functions of refractive optics — or even replace them completely. The grating structures are implanted in the polymer in an injection molding process. Reflection and transmission gratings are made to order by our experts — and are always designed to meet your specific requirements.
Our product range includes planar gratings and spherical gratings with a structural density of up to 1000 lines/mm and structural depths of 10 to 400 nm. Sinusoidal and angled structures are particularly suited to injection molding.
Diffractive optical elements can also be combined with refractive optical elements. For example, integrated diffraction gratings can be used to correct the color value of aspherical lenses. Surface nanostructures prevent any reflections on the lens.
