There’s a new white paper from Delo, presenting an industrial solution for the manufacture of microöptics at the wafer scale by lens molding using UV-curable polymers. It is a technology of choice for the mass production of high-performance, purpose-built optical components and modules for a variety of emerging markets and applications.
The EVG 7300 is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment for wafer-scale lens molding, which offers high alignment accuracy, flexibility, automation, and scalability. It uses transparent working stamps to replicate defined lens shapes in UV-curable polymers, deposited directly onto substrates. The paper describes the casting process and its main features. Delo Katiobond OM6611 is an epoxy-based optical polymer material, which has outstanding optical and mechanical properties, as well as excellent reliability and low shrinkage. It is optimized to work with the EVGNIL UV/AF7 working stamp, which ensures process stability and high product quality.
