Ultra-Precision Fabrication for Glass and Polymer Optics – From Prototype to Scalable Assembly

 

 

 

High-Precision Optical Machining and Module Manufacturing

 

At Yighen Ultra Precision, we offer complete optical machining services that cover everything from early-stage lens prototyping to full-scale production and optical module assembly. Our platform supports glass, polymer, and hybrid optics, combining ultra-precision fabrication with intelligent quality control to ensure high-performance outcomes—no matter the complexity or volume.

Whether you're developing a next-gen AR module, a high-resolution medical lens, or a LiDAR beam-shaping system, Yighen serves as your trusted manufacturing partner.

 

 

Full-Cycle Optical Manufacturing Services

 

We provide an integrated workflow that supports your optical project from concept to market:

Process Stage Capabilities
Material Machining Optical glass (BK7, fused silica, sapphire); optical plastics (PMMA, PC, COC, COP); metal optics (Al, Cu, NiP); IR materials (Ge, Si)
Surface Geometries Spherical, aspheric, freeform, Fresnel, diffractive, toroidal
Fabrication Methods Ultra-precision CNC, SPDT (Single-Point Diamond Turning), micro-milling, injection molding
Module Assembly Cleanroom assembly, multi-element bonding, active alignment, packaging
Coating AR, HR, reflective, beam-splitter coatings (customized by wavelength band)
Testing & Metrology Interferometry, profilometry, 3D surface analysis, MTF, WFE, centering, roughness Ra ≤ 1nm

 

Precision Built into Every Process

 

Our facility houses advanced ultra-precision machining and inspection systems:

  • SPDT and CNC platforms with nanometer-level path control

  • Ultrasonic-assisted machining for complex geometries and hard materials

  • Multi-axis turning and milling centers for off-axis or asymmetric optics

  • Surface metrology: λ/20 form accuracy, Ra < 1nm

  • Wavefront interferometry and MTF testing integrated in-process

These capabilities allow us to routinely manufacture precision optics with complex profiles, including aspheric, freeform, and multi-functional diffractive lenses.

 

 

 Supporting Both Glass & Polymer Optics

Yighen is one of the few global providers with mature capabilities across both optical glass machining and polymer optics manufacturing:

Material Applications Process Notes
Glass (e.g. BK7, B270, silica) Imaging lenses, collimators, illumination CNC + polishing; AR-coated; thermally stable
Polymers (PMMA, PC, COC, COP) Consumer optics, disposable medical lenses Precision molding or diamond-turned; light weight
Metals (Al, Cu, NiP) Reflectors, mounts, infrared systems Mirror-finish machining via SPDT
Infrared Materials (Ge, Si) Thermal cameras, defense optics Nanometric machining with protective coatings

 

We tailor each process to the material’s optical, thermal, and structural behavior—ensuring performance from visible to IR wavelengths.

 

 

From Prototype to Mass Production

 

🧪 Rapid Prototyping

  • Single-piece or short-run builds

  • Fast delivery (2–3 weeks typical)

  • Direct communication with design team

  • Surface form tuning with in-house CAM

🏭 Scalable Optical Production

  • Injection molding capacity: up to 1 million units/month

  • In-house mold fabrication using SPDT and CNC

  • Shrinkage/deformation correction using custom compensation algorithms

  • Automated QA for consistency and traceability

Whether you need 10 test samples or 100,000 production modules, Yighen guarantees stability, repeatability, and tight tolerance control.

 

 

Delivering Optical Modules, Not Just Components

 

We provide fully assembled optical submodules, ready for direct system integration:

  • Lens groups with spacers, barrels, or alignment mounts

  • Pancake optical modules for AR/VR displays

  • Structured light projectors for 3D vision or face recognition

  • Lens + filter + housing subassemblies for LiDAR and machine vision

  • Medical-grade disposable lens modules (ISO cleanroom)

Every module is functionally tested and validated for optical performance—ready to plug into your product pipeline.

 

 

Accuracy You Can Measure

Every optical component and module undergoes strict metrology:

  • Twyman-Green interferometry

  • Profilometry (Zygo, Sensofar)

  • Centration and surface slope error

  • MTF curves, WFE, and roughness reports

  • Full traceability and serialization available
