Main Products and its Applications
Aspherical Lenses
Aspheres for superior image quality
Due to their unique surface structure, aspherical lenses eliminate monochromatic aberrations and therefore deliver
superior overall image quality. They are being used to replace multi-spherical element assemblies and enable a
more compact design.

Cylindrical Lenses
Wide variety of specific lenses
Cylindrical lenses have a spherical radius in one direction. This enables the light to be focused in one axis. A point
of light can thus be stretched into a single line. Cylindrical lenses can be used in a variety of different applications,
including bar code scanning or laser projection, for example.
