ORAFOL Fresnel Optics GmbH
ORAFOL Fresnel Optics GmbH offers custom fabrication of plastic micro- and nanostructured optical components. Based on the complete chain of optical design, tool fabrication, precision polymer replication, and custom finishing, we supply components for the lighting, solar power, instrumentation and display industries.ORAFOL Fresnel Optics GmbH is a subsidary of the ORAFOL Group and a market leader in the design and fabrication of plastic micro- and nanostructured optical components for the markets Display, Lighting, Solar, Optical Measurement & Machine Vision and Optical Sensors.
Our corporate philosophy has long been to integrate our capabilities into a complete cycle of design, development, production, finishing, and product enhancement. We offer state-of-the-art technologies in the fields of
- Optical engineering (custom optical and tool design)
- Tool fabrication (mastering, electroforming, plating)
- Precision polymer replication (compression and injection molding)
- Custom finishing and assembly works
- Product enhancement (metalization, hard coating, bonding, printing)
- BBAR coating and manufacture/replication of polymer AR structures (marketed under the name "PlasmAR®").
Our products are used in a variety of applications. Among others, they can be found as:
- Fresnel lenses in projection systems and flight and game simulators;
- Lenticulars in 3D applications
- Cylinder lenses and Fresnel lenses in machine vision systems
- Collectors and collimators in scanning, sensor, and bar code systems, in security detection devices, and photovoltaic systems
- Prisms and beam splitters in applications requiring the active distribution and redirection of light
- Light distributing microstructured components such as backlights for display applications
- Diffusers, light guides and micro arrays for automotive and lighting applications, day lighting, signal lighting, and others
- Corner cube retroreflectors for laser control systems
- Hybrid optics such as Silicone-on-Glass (SOG) lens parquets for CPV applications.
For quality assurance we employ the latest metrology and work according to DIN ISO 9001.
