A diffractive optical element (DOE) is a device to diffract a laser beam to generate an arbitrary pattern.
A DOE of optimally designed submicron-order profiles is required to realize desired patterns. Nissei Technology achieves this with our mass-producible plastic DOEs with your desired pattern such as dot patterns, grid patterns and logos with our proprietary design and production processes.

Micro lens arrays (MLAs), as its name suggests, is an optical component with an array of small lenses.
MLAs are recently put to commercial use for a diffusive lighting application with a high light utilization efficiency.
We can manufacture MLAs with aspherical lens whose size ranges from several tens of micron meters to several hundreds of micron meters.
We can also manufacture MLAs according to your specifications, as well as designing them from optical design.

Our current development activities for LiDAR aims to improve the detection range compared to that of a conventional mechanical LiDAR system. Our polygon mirrors can satisfy both high reliability and low cost by using coating-less plastic mold products.

Possible applications

• Factory automation (FA)
• Automatic control robots
• Security and monitoring cameras

We expect this to be applicable to various other purposes.

A prism is used for diffracting and reflecting a light beam. It is an important optical component for either purpose requiring high precision and is typically made of glass. As various devices become more compact, components for them are also getting increasingly smaller and more complex. These requirements are difficult to satisfy with glass, and demand for plastic components is likely to increase.
Nissei Technology will be engaging in designing plastic prisms to meet your specifications and the mass-production of these prisms.
