Light control on a micron scale

MicroTEK™ products utilize a unique collection of micron scale (smaller than a human hair) optical elements to diffuse, shape, reflect and manipulate light and colors in a broad range of LED lighting systems.

INTERNAL

Spherical Lenses
Spherical lenses are typically used to efficiently diffuse light into symmetrical or circular beam distributions. They also improve LED hiding power.
Elliptical Lenses
Elliptical lenses are used in a similar way to spherical lenses but can offer greater diffusion or LED hiding power in a certain direction.
Phosphors & QDs
Phosphors and quantum dots (QDs), when added, provide new levels of color control and spectral customization. Suited to either UV/Blue or White LED pump sources.
Reflectors
Efficient reflection in a wide range of base material is made possible using controlled micro voids or highly reflective micron scale particles.

2-DIMENSIONAL EXTERNAL

Texture Surfaces
Textured shapes can be used to control glare and deliver a unique look and feel for high end lighting applications.
Prisms & Lenticulars
Linear prism and lenticular features deliver glare reduction and beam collimation; or beam splitting when inverted towards the light source.
Linear Fresnels
Linear Fresnel structures can collimate and shape light beams in linear LED systems in addition to off axis (asymmetric) beam tilting.
2-D plus Internal
Combination of external surface features with internal features provide enhanced performance.

3-DIMENSIONAL EXTERNAL

Conical Arrays
Symmetric cone and microlens features offer light control in a 360 degree space. Ideal for reducing glare and for focusing light.
Pyramid Structures
Pyramid structures provide sharper cut off and glare control and can be used to collimate light.
Micro-Domes
Symmetric cone and microlens features offer light control in a 360 degree space. Ideal for reducing glare and for focusing light.
