It’s not just the world of optics that’s moving at breakneck speed – we, as a company, are keeping pace and constantly evolving.
Optical components such as Fresnel lenses and aspheres with diffractive surface structures pose unique challenges for metrology. Their complex geometries often cannot be accurately measured using conventional interferometric or tactile methods. This is where DIOPTIC excels: we design computer-generated holograms (CGHs) precisely tailored to these diffractive surfaces, enabling highly accurate form measurements even for the …
In optical manufacturing, the smallest surface imperfections can compromise entire systems. Microscopic scratches and digs on optical surfaces not only affect performance but can also lead to costly rework or product rejection. Manual-visual inspection methods according to MIL and ISO standards are labor-intensive, subjective, and prone to inconsistency. That’s why automated scratch/dig inspection is transforming …
Polarization cameras offer a new approach to optical inspection by providing light-based information about material properties and surface structure. This technology reveals optical flaws and enables optimized process control, especially in applications involving challenging optical materials. At DIOPTIC, we develop and integrate polarization camera systems tailored precisely to the specific requirements of our clients.
Creating high-performance optics relies heavily on the materials used, which must be sourced from an increasingly volatile global market. One such material is germanium, commonly used in lenses for thermal imaging systems. As an expert in optical design, DIOPTIC offers a solution to reduce this dependency: germanium-free lenses.
On October 16, 2024, DIOPTIC GmbH celebrated the topping-out ceremony of its state-of-the-art commercial building in the technology park in Weinheim. With the completion of the shell construction phase, the company marks an important milestone on the path to a forward-looking headquarters, which is designed to provide not only modern working conditions but also to …
In May 2023, DIOPTIC opened its US branch in Rochester, NY. The results after just one year: all expectations have been exceeded and the prospects are excellent. Branch manager Kaitlin Dunn has played a major role in the successful start of DIOPTIC Inc. in the US.
