DIOPTIC looks back on a very eventful but above all successful 2023. We are immensely proud to have achieved these significant milestones with our great team. In particular, the founding of DIOPTIC Inc in Rochester, New York offers us important development opportunities. We are looking forward to an exciting NEW YEAR with energy and optimism. We are excited to launch innovative ideas with our customers and partners, and to pursue continued success together!
Reach for the stars with CGHs from DIOPTIC
Starting in 2026, ESA’s PLATO mission will search for Earth-like planets outside our solar system. In the process, 26 telescopes will collect spectral data from stars, which in turn will allow conclusions to be drawn about such exoplanets. CGHs from DIOPTIC will be used to check and adjust the convex asphere of the telescopes with high precision.
ARGOS matrix 400 – new dimensions in surface inspection
With the ARGOS matrix family, DIOPTIC has developed a mature solution for the automated surface inspection of optics. The latest child ARGOS matrix 400 with a maximum inspection area of 400×600mm opens up completely new possibilities. Because with it, not only the lenses but also the injection molds can be inspected for surface defects during optical plastic injection molding.
Thermography in the micro range
Making surface temperatures or heat flows visible by thermographic systems is a common imaging technique on a large scale – for example, detecting energy losses of buildings. It also works for quality inspection in the microscale. However, this requires outstanding infrared optics that are characterized by highest transmission and best image quality. This is exactly what the DIOPTIC infrared microscope objective with 0.25x magnification does.
DIOPTIC subsidiary in Rochester, NY, US
Customer proximity is considered one of the key success factors in global business. At DIOPTIC, it is a central component of every application-specific solution. This is just one of several reasons why the optics specialists from Weinheim are venturing across the pond with a subsidiary in the US. In May 2023, DIOPTIC Inc. was founded with headquarters in Rochester, NY.
