High-precision micro-optics directly on optical fiber tips and within standard fiber connectors, enabling compact, alignment-free optical solutions with sub-micron precision.

Offering Description

Micro-optical elements 3D-printed directly on optical fibers. This enables freeform, segmented, and diffractive optical surfaces with excellent surface quality and precise alignment to the fiber mode field.

By printing the optics directly onto fiber tips or integrating them into common fiber connectors, we eliminate manual alignment steps and improve optical performance and robustness. Functional features such as absorbing structures and encapsulation can be integrated directly into the optical design. The use of highly transparent, low-fluorescence and biocompatible materials makes these solutions suitable for demanding sensing, imaging, and medical applications.

Offering Specifications

  • Feature size: < 1 µm
  • Optical surfaces: freeform, segmented, diffractive
  • Surface roughness: < 10 nm RMS
  • Shape accuracy: < diameter / 1000 (PTV)
  • Alignment precision: direct alignment to fiber mode field with < 1 µm accuracy
  • Integration options:
    • Optics printed directly on fiber tips
    • Direct integration into common fiber connectors
    • Custom absorbing structures and encapsulation
  • Materials: highly transparent polymers with low autofluorescence
  • Biocompatibility: suitable for medical and life-science applications
