Forschungszentrum
Karlsruhe GmbH offers polymer-micro-optical system based
research and development, prototyping of micro-optical structures
with lithographic methods or with high aspect ratio replication
techniques (injection moulding or hot embossing) and small series
fabrication. Also the fabrication of high aspect ratio replication
tools by the LIGA process is within the expertise of the Forschungszentrum. |

Heptagon
Oy focuses on the development, design and manufacturing
of diffractive and refractive replicated micro-optical components.
Heptagon offers production processes such as direct beam laser
writing, electron beam lithography, relief printing, and hot
embossing. Heptagon is a world leader in UV-embossed components
withstanding lead-free IR reflow at 280°C and temperature shocks between -40°C to +125°C. Also
available is sol-gel processing for components with stability
in humid atmospheres and high temperatures. |

Epigem
Ltd provides new product or business opportunity development
support in polymer MST, from concept to high volume manufacture.
Moulding processes include high accuracy replication on rigid
sheet or wafer substrates or flexible film using continuous
reel-to-reel multilayer coating, micromoulding and lamination.
Also assistance in micro-optics integrated with other functions
including micro-fluidic and micro-metallic structures is offered. |

Daren
Labs Ltd brings in his expertise on the development of polymers
to match the optical properties to desired values. This involves
the synthesis of new materials, tailor made to meet specific
applications, as well as process optimisation to reduce, e.g.,
sensitivity to temperature and humidity. Dr. Steve Daren founded a new Innovation Center
www.d-innovations.co.il which is set up as a site for
pre-seed technological studies. |
