Details of the Technology Offer

The hybrid diffractive/refractive optics simulator is a rapid, economical and low consumption system in optical bench. Unlike numerical simulation, the proposed system provides empirical results, which are closer to the final behaviour of an optical
component.

This versatile system permits to characterize a diffractive profile independently or in combination with a refractive element before production.

Applications

Testing physically new diffractive intraocular lens designs:

  • Extended focus, trifocal, bifocal, aberration compensation.
  • Also applicable to diffractive contact lenses.

Intellectual property status

  • Granted Patent
  • Patent application number :PCT/IB2017/000044
