Purchasing Advisor for Microlens Arrays (original) (raw)
Find all you need for professional sourcing of microlens arrays: a comprehensive expert-curated directory of suppliers, scientific and technical background information, and an interactive AI-based tool with guidance for a structured decision process.
NEW: Not only hardware can be listed here, but also consulting, software, training on microlens arrays, etc. – see the "offer types" below.
🌐 You appear to be visiting from North America. Many listed suppliers are based in this region, making the RP Photonics Buyer's Guide highly relevant for your needs.
Purchasing high-value photonics products is a substantial responsibility. Using a structured decision-making process and high quality supplier data helps a lot:
- Find all relevant suppliers (not limited to advertisers).
- Our interactive tool conveniently assists you in defining and applying your application-specific requirements.
Note that purchasing decisions based on just a few randomly picked suppliers and without carefully defined specifications are risky; therefore, we strongly recommend using our data and tool. See also:
- How Responsible Purchase Decisions for Expensive Goods Like Lasers Are Done
- Explanations on this purchasing tool
Go through the process:
1. Understand the technical background
It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.
Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:
microlens arrays microlenses lenses
If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.
I feel that I sufficiently understand the technical background.
2. Define your requirements
It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you purchase.
We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:
To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying microlens arrays. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.
This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.
I think that I am sufficiently informed about our requirements.
Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.
I consider the above list of specifications to be sufficiently complete, clear and accurate.
If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.
Insert these criteria when creating inquiry mails to suppliers with the buttons "Get quotation".
You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".
3. Find suitable suppliers
We suggest three steps:
- Below, you can find our list of suppliers for microlens arrays. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
- The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
- Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

Comments, e.g. reasons for your choice, or things which still need to be checked:
4. Document the decision process
It is essential to document your purchasing process, not only its result (chosen supplier):
- You will find it easier next time.
- If something goes wrong, you can defend your decision by showing that you properly considered all important aspects. Or you see what needs to be done better next time.
Our interactive tool makes it easy: Fill out the form, and in the end print it to a PDF. Note that the document will show all sections (including those not currently shown on the screen), while omitting some irrelevant details such as the page navigation.

 Creating a Spectrum of Optical Solutions Holographix LLC140 Locke DriveSuite AMarlborough, MA 01752United StatesSee us at Photonics West 2026 in San Francisco, Jan. 20–22 (booth 5429)! |
⚙ hardware Holographix designs and produces cost-effective, high quality custom microlens arrays (MLAs) to customer specifications. We manufacture a wide range of polymer-on-glass MLAs using our proprietary UV replication technology. Our master molds are produced using a variety of mastering techniques, allowing us to offer replicated MLAs with a wide selection of possible lens profiles, packing configurations, sizes, and tolerances. We offer replicas in a range of refractive indices that are solder reflow compatible. Our manufacturing process and equipment allow us to produce precisely aligned single and double-sided MLAs with accurate polymer thickness and flatness control. We also offer wafer-level processing for customers that require high volume scalability. Product-specific web page |

 Packaging foundry for PIC-based optoelectronic modules PHIX Photonics AssemblyHengelosestraat 5257521 AG EnschedeThe Netherlands |
⚙ hardware Using our Nanoscribe Quantum X align tool, we can 3D print optical and mechanical microstructures directly onto surfaces such as fiber cores or photonic integrated circuits (PICs). This high-precision additive manufacturing process for microstructures is based on two-photon polymerization (2PP), in combination with state-of-the-art alignment technology. It enables a feature size down to 100 nanometers, with optical grade surface quality free from slicing steps. This allows full control over the optical properties of the printed optics. Not only can lenses be designed to focus or collimate light, but they can even take on aspherical shapes in order to correct for optical aberrations. Some example applications of our 3D microfabrication process are: Microlens arrays on PIC surfaces or edges Lensed fiber arrays Prisms or other freeform optical structures Microfluidic or micromechanical structures Product-specific web page |
