Optical plastics are plastics used as optical media materials, primarily for manufacturing optical substrates, lenses, contact lenses, organic optical fibers, and more. They have extensive applications in the field of optics, especially in scenarios requiring mass production of optical instruments.
Optical lenses made from optical plastics have the following advantages:
Easy to process and shape: Optical plastics possess excellent plasticity and molding characteristics, making the manufacturing process more flexible and convenient.
Lightweight: Compared to optical glass, optical plastics have a density that is half as high, making lenses significantly lighter.
Low cost: The manufacturing cost of optical plastics and the cost of component processing are only about 1/10 to 1/30 of those for glass lenses, giving them a significant cost advantage.
Excellent impact resistance: Optical lenses made from optical plastics have an impact resistance approximately 10 times higher than glass lenses, making them more durable.
Advantages of aspheric lenses: The surface profile of aspheric lenses is determined by polynomial equations, enabling correction of various types of aberrations and improving the image quality of optical systems.
