Notes on Specifiying Aspheric Lenses by Robert Mathews Click here for details.


	Mathews Optical has made a continuing commitment to provide the highest quality, cost-effective custom aspheric lens components in both prototype and production quantities. We manufacture the finest aspheric lenses available and our continued goal is to create a balance of efficiency, affordability and accuracy in every optical component we manufacture.

Aspheric lenses can be an effective alternative to multi-element component systems by reducing weight, overall size and cost in many applications.

We precision-grind and polish every aspheric lens we manufacture, enabling your design engineers to select from a wide range of optical glasses to best optimize their systems.



	Our proprietary manufacturing methods have been developed in-house and have been proven from one-off prototype lenses to the production of thousands of aspheric components ranging from 10 to 200 millimeters and larger in diameter.



Our aspheric lenses have been made to specification for medical and industrial applications, precision inspection devices, re-design of multi-lens systems, and government research. Each application is unique, requiring solutions that encompass a wide range of materials and forms. This is a challenge that Mathews Optical has met again and again, with materials ranging from Fused Silica to glasses with indices approaching 1.90.



	Since 1978, Mathews Optical has been recognized as a prime source for the prototyping and production of precision aspheric optical components. We are proud to have played an important role in helping many diverse companies in developing their new products affordably, accurately, and with on-time delivery.
