Design

Befort maintains its own optics design & construction department. Optical designs are developed with the lens design Program ZEMAX© OpticStudio 15. The design process is particularly focused on a proper design for production. The admissible tolerances are a major factor for the price of an optical system, in addition to the selection of suitable glass. You can be assured that we will find the optimal solution for your specific problem based on our experience in the field of optics design. Optical imaging systems, laser optics and illumination systems can be measured and dimensioned with Zemax© OpticStudio 15. The 3D data of the optical design is transferred via an interface to the 3D CAD Product Design Program Inventor and with the support of Inventor the fitting mechanical solution is developed

The deflection and separation of light beams in different intensities, directions or wavelength ranges can also be controlled by thinfilm vaporization. Either a metallic or a dielectric coating is chosen, depending on requirements and application. The abovementioned advantages of dielectric reflection coatings play a decisive role here, too.

Unlike metallic splitter coatings, dielectric splitter coatings enable absorptionfree light conditions. Dielectric splitter coatings are used in various filters and particularly in laser technology and reference metrology.

Compared with conventional metallic reflection coatings, the advantages of dielectric reflection coatings are their climate resistance, mechanical stability and high reflection combined with relatively low absorption. These properties are crucially important for many optical applications involving extreme thermal and mechanical stress.
