The company also intends to expand the material's application to various functional films and screen materials for applications including rear-projection screens by exploiting its thinness, light weight and high optical transparency as well as its superior light diffusion and collimating properties. This makes them well-suited for collimating light beams emitted by solid-state lasers based on gallium arsenide, a related material remarkable for its ability to transform electronic excitations into laser beams and vice versa. Molded glass aspheres are often used in applications such as laser diode collimating and focusing, fiber coupling, barcode scanning, LCD and LCOS digital projection, optical data storage, microscopic measurement, and distance remote sensing. |
