At the microscale, optical functionality depends on both shape and material.
FEMTOPRINT delivers micro-optical elements—such as micro-mirrors and micro-lenses—engineered for extreme precision and integrated directly into glass micro-devices.
Our approach offers:
When you are fabricating PICs, telecom/datacom or quantum devices, and sensor systems and you need reflective micro-mirrors or refractive micro-lenses, our monolithic elements eliminate the need for secondary assembly and improve system compactness.
Discover how we can help you today.
Glass micro-optical elements are used across photonics, sensing and life-science instrumentation, including beam shaping and collimation, wavefront correction, fiber-to-chip coupling, endoscopic and miniaturized imaging optics, and integrated micro-lens arrays for sensor and display systems.
What are micro-optical elements made of at FEMTOPRINT?
They are fabricated monolithically in fused silica and other glasses, enabling optical-grade surface quality (roughness under 10 nm), high thermal and chemical stability, and 3D free-form geometries not achievable with molded polymer optics.
Can micro-lenses and micro-mirrors be integrated with waveguides on the same chip?
Yes. FEMTOPRINT integrates micro-lenses, micro-mirrors and micro-lens arrays directly with buried glass waveguides and micro-mechanical structures, removing secondary assembly steps and improving alignment accuracy and system compactness.
