Manufacture and development of micro-optical elements

The company SMOS, on the market since 2002, develops, produces and sells high-precision micro-optical components for high-end applications, e.g. in medical technology, measurement technology, wavefront analysis, 3D image acquisition and much more.

In addition, SMOS will be happy to support your project with advice.

The micro-optical elements are fabricated as planar GRIN optics with the help of ion exchange in optical Glasses.

SMOS also offers a mask service up to a writing area of 6 "x 6".

Product example: microlens array with 16x16mm external dimensions. 26x26 microlenses with 100% filling factor in cartesian arrangement. Lens data: f = 30.0mm, pitch = 600µm

Using photolithographic mask technology, the index distribution and thus the optical properties can be precisely controlled during manufacture. This allows refractive optical components with a high degree of design freedom to be realized. Scope of application in the visible to IR.

Product examples are corrected and almost arbitrarily shaped and arranged microlenses, one hundred percent area-filling microlens arrays, as well as general phase elements for beam shaping, beam splitting or to fulfill certain measuring tasks.

Product example: microlens array with housing for installation in macro-bench systems

The high degree of design freedom of our technology is the advantage for your application:


Fast implementation of your specific parameters with low sample costs


This guarantees flexibility and time savings for your

product development and marketing
