In the current trend for miniaturization of optical systems, the FEMTOprint laser-based glass micro-machining technology allows 3D freedom in design and fabrication. This is as well as the possibility of monolithically integrating several functionalities within a single optical system, thus avoiding complex assembly steps, while allowing for a high level of complexity. Moreover, it enables the access to fast prototyping and pilot production, while guaranteeing the possibility of up-scaling to volume production.
Monolithic integration of refractive and reflective optical elements, including combination with other functionalities such as waveguiding and fiber connectivity.
Fully 3D free-form fabrication.
Optical surface quality with average roughness < 10nm or less.
Rapid prototyping,including design for manufacturing.
Miniaturized components compatible with standard packaging processes, including alignment marks and fiducials for micron-precision assembly.
