Advantages of Custom Axicons

Superior surface quality

asphericon manufactures convex and concave axicons with irregularities RMSi ≤ 0.05 µm as customized solutions. Convince yourself of the high accuracy and quality of our axicons as well as the possibilities for beam shaping applications. According to the requirements of our customers, we produce prototypes, small and large series.

Unique technology

asphericon's manufacturing basis is built on a specially developed and patented technology for the control of CNC grinding and polishing machines, which is continuously being further developed. The precision of our production already exceeds the current standard and inspires customers worldwide.

High quality coatings

Axicons from asphericon are convincing in various fields of application, e.g. in laser beam shaping. We manufacture optical coatings in the spectral range from UV to the near infrared range, from anti-reflective coatings to wavelength-specific filter layers, to suit your individual requirements.

Complementary Services

Do you already own axicons and would like to have them characterized or coated? asphericon also offers various supplementary services. In addition to the measurement, the coating of your provided optics, for example, can be realized subsequently. We would also be pleased to complete your axicons with high-quality mounts for optimum compatibility with other optical components.
