Consumer

LINE

In the past decade, the consumer market has changed drastically with the rise of digital media and mobile phones- all of these devices utilize optical components.

Syntec Optics has been a leader in the optics industry and is invested in furthering consumer technologies and what lies ahead such as driverless cars, robotics and sensors just to name a few. Browse through this section to see how Syntec Optics and Wordingham Technologies are paving the way for the future of the optics industry.

Driverless Cars

LINE

Syntec Optics has been a pioneer in the application of game-changing optics and photonics solutions to new emerging frontiers in science and technology. Driverless cars are no exception. Driverless cars (self-driving cars or autonomous cars) are vehicles that can sense their environment and navigate without human input, monitoring fixed and movable objects. They have the potential to transform mobility. The benefits offered by self-driving cars include increased safety, better transportation options for children, the elderly and disabled, reduced parking places and traffic issues and new business models. Syntec Optics can provide phase arrays, detector arrays, optical waveguides, laser optics, IR optics, machine vision components, micro-optics for beam shaping and focusing and photonic integrated circuit (PIC) components for autonomous transportation solutions. Get in touch with our optical manufacturing experts at Syntec Optics for all your optics and photonics needs for developing optical sensing applications.

Integrated Photonics

LINE

Discover our manufacturing capabilities for integrated photonics. Our customers engage Syntec Optics to manufacture glass or polymer optical interconnects. As well, producing low loss interconnects for multi-channels are critical in integrated photonics. We manufacture off-chip optics used in applications such as collimators, microfluidic slides, lasers and photonic sensors. More than this, we also manufacture lens arrays from glass or polymers with CTE’s that match silicon, low RMS for less loss, and high tolerances on center-to-center dimension on multi-channel arrays. At Syntec Optics you can find dependable testing, packaging and assembly services for optics, photonics and optoelectronic products.

Robotics

LINE

Optics play an important part in robotics for sensing applications. Optical assemblies and optical elements by Syntec Optics are used in robot sensors for touch and vision. Optical sensors are key components of robotic sensing technologies such as computer vision, imaging, LIDAR, RADAR, SONAR, etc. Syntec Optics provides optical, opto-mechanical and optoelectronic systems for magnetic field detection devices, custom optics for machine vision, robotic probes, drones and interferometers, as well as laser optics for light ranging and detection. Our capabilities include custom molded polymer optics, catalog optics (COTS), diamond turned prototypes, diamond turned optics, optical tooling, opto-mechanics, optical coating, integrated photonics, and a state-of-the-art metrology set up.

Sensors

LINE

Optical sensors allow you to detect light intensity. Through the advancement of medical technology optical sensors along with computer technology have made it possible for in vivo physiology and physiological processes to develop. Syntec Optics designs, develops and manufactures polymer optics and opto-mechanicals used in biomedical imaging applications. Not only are sensors important in the medical sector, we see the need for them in biometrics and security. Syntec Optics manufactures sensors that are cost-effective to meet the needs of your project. For more information, feel free to contact us or request a quote!

VR/AR

LINE

From Fresnels, freeforms, and aspherics, your search for high performance optical components for virtual reality applications stops at Syntec Optics and Wordingham Technologies. Head-mounted displays (HMDs) or virtual reality headsets or VR headsets are an important hardware component of virtual reality systems. It is crucial to know light propagation in the physical world to understand virtual reality. In the present generation of VR headsets, a system of both natural (human eyes) and engineered lenses guide the light. Optical components play a critical part in the functioning of a VR headset. Syntec Optics leverages its patented diamond turning technology, custom polymer optics manufacturing capabilities and state-of-the-art metrology set up to enable virtual reality systems being developed for numerous applications from media to the military.

Machine Vision

LINE

Machine vision technology is applied in all stages of the manufacturing process to ensure consistent assembly quality of electronic products and semiconductors. Machine vision applications for semiconductor manufacturing includes wire bonding, wafer probing, lead frame inspection, wafer dicing and die bonding.

Facial Imaging

LINE

The human facial pattern is another unique characteristic that is used for biometric applications. Biometric facial recognition technology has gained significance in the past several years due to its potential for a wide variety of applications including biometric security, healthcare, law enforcement, logical access control, border control/airports, consumer biometrics, financial biometrics, time and attendance, etc. Advanced algorithms enable facial recognition systems to quickly and accurately identify target individuals for authentication purposes.

Heads Up Displays

LINE

Syntec Optics, manufacturer of polymer optics like polymer freeform prisms used in heads up displays, uses advanced skills in mold-making and single point diamond turning (SPDT). These advanced technologies are used to construct a mold for the complex part geometry that robust enough to stand up to the demanding production volumes of the automotive industry. Through our many years of experience we quickly perform highly accurate process capability analyses. As such, we develop molding processes which meet the aforementioned tolerances, and minimize the haze inherent to COP resins. All this helps in achieving the required part-to-part consistency.

Finger Print Scanners

LINE

Fingerprints are one of many forms of biometrics used for identification and authorization purposes in numerous applications. Fingerprint recognition is one of the most popular biometric technologies because of its ease of use. Hardware used in fingerprint readers utilizes different optical sensors to capture fingerprints. As well, software applications for fingerprint recognition use sophisticated algorithms to extract matching features like minutae. Image enhancement and fingerprint matching are equally important stages in software development.

Laser Scanners

LINE

Laser scanners e.g. LIDAR, combine controlled steering of laser beams with a laser rangefinder. By taking a distance measurement at every direction the scanner rapidly captures the surface shape of objects, buildings and landscapes. Construction of a full 3D model involves combining multiple surface models obtained from different viewing angles, or the admixing of other known constraints. Small objects can be placed on a revolving pedestal, in a technique akin to photogrammetry. Most laser scanners use moveable mirrors to steer the laser beam. Scanning refractive optics – When two Risley prisms are rotated against each other, a beam of light can be scanned at will inside a cone. Such scanners are used for tracking missiles. When two optical lenses are moved or rotated against each other, a laser beam can be scanned in a way similar to mirror scanners. Phased array scanning – laser scanning through phased arrays. This method is used to scan radar beams without moving parts. With the use of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSELs), it might be possible to realize fast laser scanners in the foreseeable future.
