What are the processing techniques for optical lenses
Author：
The optical lens processing technology mainly includes the following core steps:
Blank forming
From raw materials such as glass or plastic, lens blanks are formed through processes such as sawing, rolling, and ball opening to ensure geometric shape and dimensional accuracy.
Rough grinding
Use diamond grinding wheel or silicon carbide abrasive to remove excess material on the surface of the blank, preliminarily form and remove bubbles and impurities, with a surface roughness of approximately Ra 1-10 μ m.
Fine grinding
Using finer abrasives (such as diamond micro powder) for precision machining through planetary or oscillating grinding machines, the surface roughness is reduced to Ra 0.1~1 μ m, and the shape accuracy is improved to λ/10~λ/20.
Grinding
Using cerium oxide or aluminum oxide polishing powder, combined with asphalt polishing molds or polyurethane polishing pads, the surface is optimized through computer-controlled optical surface forming technology to achieve roughness of Ra<1nm and surface shape accuracy of λ/20~λ/50.
wash
Remove abrasive residue, grease, and dust from grinding through ultrasonic cleaning, chemical cleaning, or plasma cleaning to ensure the quality of subsequent coating.
coating
Coating multiple layers of film (such as anti reflection film, anti reflection film) on the surface of the lens to improve light transmittance and wear resistance.
Inspection
Automated equipment is used to detect indicators such as lens shape, size, and transmittance to ensure compliance with standards.

Classification of lenses
Convex lens A convex lens is a lens with a thicker center and thinner edges. Convex lenses have the function of converging light lines, so they are also called "converging lenses" or "positive lenses" (can be used for farsightedness and reading glasses). This type of lens can be divided into:

What is the definition of a lens and what is a lens?
There are six types of lenses. A lens is made according to the laws of light refraction. A lens is an optical element made of transparent substances such as glass, crystal, etc. A lens is a refracting mirror with two spherical surfaces, or a transparent body with one spherical surface and one plane. The image it forms has both real and virtual images. Lenses can generally be divided into two categories: convex lenses and concave lenses.
