Successes
The following are a few examples of LumenFlow's development successes. Many products cannot be shown due to their proprietary nature.
A customer looking for an infrared doublet lens design was surprised to find that LumenFlow could improve performance at 40% less cost than they were paying before.
By redesigning the optical front end of a free space communications device, LumenFlow was able to significantly improve the reliability of the product, including its ability to communicate in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog. Set up and field adjustments were minimized and costs were reduced significantly.
By using a less diffractive, custom-designed lens, this infrared transmitter designed for a telecommunications company provided improved power density and collimation in a smaller package.
A manufacturer of thermal imaging cameras looking for a low F/# lens at lower cost contracted with LumenFlow to design these mid-band infrared lenses. By making the lenses from silicon rather than germanium LumenFlow was able to improve cost in a smaller package.
A company whose DNA chip reader objective was no longer available turned to LumenFlow for a replacement. This very light weight objective and high resolution laser focuser used one less element and cost 35% less than the product it replaced.
This night vision lens is much easier to assemble than the lens it replaced and costs over 50% less.
This night vision eyepiece designed for a third generation image intensifier device outperformed the competition at 40% less component cost and 60% less assembly cost.
LumenFlow created a family of broadband infrared lenses when a large optical manufacturer discontinued their line of lenses. The new lenses improve performance at 30% less cost. The short focal length infrared spectroscopy lens achieves better light transmission over a broader range for Ramon Scattering spectrometers used in the scientific community.
LumenFlow designed this pattern projection system for guiding robotic arms.
When a well known lens supplier to the machine vision industry discontinued their product line, LumenFlow developed a series of high definition replacement lenses with focal lengths ranging from 13 to 111 mm. These lenses outperformed those they replaced with virtually no coma error and improved field width.
This state of the art UV and IR lens was developed for use in interferometers used by the United States Air Force for an upper atmosphere ultra high winds study. The instrument required a very low 0.7 F/#.
This mid-infrared camera and microscope system is used for real-time process control on a thin film curing production line.
