Lobre Products: Aspherical lenses
Aspherical lenses feature more complex surface geometries than spherical lenses. While this increases production costs, it also provides specific advantages for high-performance optical systems.
At Lobre, our in-house optical engineers offer both standard aspherical lenses and fully customised lens designs, developed in close collaboration with the client.

Aspherical Lenses for High-Performance Optical Systems
What are the advantages of aspherical lenses?
First and foremost, aspherical lenses are capable of significantly reducing spherical aberration. Additionally, the smart integration of aspherical lenses into modern high-performance optical systems can offer a powerful alternative, enabling the creation of systems that require fewer lenses, are lighter, more compact and deliver enhanced performance.
Convex
Convex aspherical lenses feature a progressive curvature surface that effectively corrects aberrations. They are ideal for collecting and focusing light.
Concave
Concave aspherical lenses are used to diverge
light beams and efficiently correct peripheral
distortion.
Custom
Lobre provides custom aspherical lens design services, working closely with clients and professionals to deliver fully tailored solutions.

Application Fields
Space||Aerospace||Vision Systems||I.T.S.||Biomedical||Security||Laser||Lighting
Space and Aerospace
Precision aspherical lenses are integrated into satellites, onboard optical instruments and avionics sensors.
Vision Systems
Aspherical imaging lenses can be applied in modern optical systems mounted on production lines.
Speed Detection - I.T.S.
ASF lenses, integrated into speed cameras, license plate readers and traffic sensors, provide enhanced light beam focusing even in low-light conditions.
Biomedical
Aspherical lenses for telescopes and microscopes minimise distortion and aberrations. Ideal for fluorescence imaging and portable diagnostic devices.
Security
Aspherical lenses for advanced optical devices are used in surveillance systems and infrared (IR) sensors.
Laser
Aspherical lenses, like bi-aspheric lenses, are ideal for optical systems used in laser measurement and marking technologies.
Lighting
Aspherical condenser lenses are used in technical lighting systems to ensure better light diffusion.
Aspherical lenses for optical applications offer significant advantages over traditional spherical lenses. Thanks to their unique geometry, aspherical lenses can better correct spherical aberration and optimise lens performance in various contexts.
Key application fields include the space and aerospace sectors, biomedical devices, industrial vision systems, traffic control technologies and lighting solutions.
Lobre designs and manufactures aspherical lenses for the UV, VIS, NIR and IR optical spectrum, available in a wide range of geometries, tight tolerances and custom optical finishes.
