Optics & Optical Components
Laser Precision for Optical Glass and High-Performance Optical Components
We offer high-end laser systems for cutting, drilling, and microstructuring of optical glass – enabling ultra-clean, contactless processing of lenses, waveguides, prisms, filters, and other advanced optical elements.
Empowering Innovation in Optical Glass Manufacturing
Modern optics demand extreme precision. Whether in imaging systems, AR/VR devices, metrology, or photonics, the performance of optical components depends on flawless geometries, crack-free surfaces, and contamination-free fabrication.
Our laser micromachining platforms deliver sub-micron precision for cutting, drilling, surface texturing, and selective coating removal of optical materials – without mechanical contact, tool wear, or thermal distortion. Our systems support complex 2D and 3D geometries and are compatible with ultra-thin, chemically strengthened, and coated glasses.
From prototyping to volume production, we enable manufacturers to meet the highest standards for clarity, functionality, and reliability in optical components.
