INGENERIC: New microlens arrays with more lenses per wafer

At the trade fair, the company presents its microlens arrays with up to 500 individual lenses and dimensions of up to 50 x 50 mm, which are used for steam beaming and light bundling. With the new arrays, INGENERIC addresses the requests of numerous customers to implement focal lengths of down to 0.3 mm.

For optics with a short focal length, INGENERIC has increased the usable surface area to 10 x 10 mm and thus significantly expanded the existing product range. The company continues to use its proven technology, which guarantees maximum reproducibility and tightest tolerances.

INGENERIC works with precision molding techniques, which ensure that high refractive index glass takes on precisely the form of the molding tool. The molds manufactured by the company to sub-micron precision enable the arrays to be produced with very high accuracy and reproducibility. INGENERIC manufactures arrays with minimal transition zones, highest filling factors and minimal pitch errors, even in large batches.

When it comes to designing micro-optics for special applications, the process offers significant degrees of freedom: Compared to the etching process, optics can be far more complex with a larger radius-to-aperture aspect ratio. Furthermore, the process excels with a relative radius tolerance better than 0.2%, which is fully reproducible in serial production.

INGENERIC manufactures microlens arrays with aspherical or spherical lenses that are planoconvex, biconvex or convex-concave, and which have a circular, rectangular or hexagonal aperture.
