Description
Heptagon is a Finnish-Swiss company and was established in 1993 to design and sell diffractive optical elements. In 2000, Heptagon acquired a replicated micro-optical elements manufacturing facility from Centre Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique SA (CSEM) in Zurich. Heptagon’s roots are in the world’s leading R&D on diffractive optics at Helsinki University of Technology and the University of Joensuu, and development and commercial application of production technology at CSEM Zurich, giving Heptagon 20 years of micro-optics experience.
Today, Heptagon develops, designs and manufactures diffractive and refractive micro-optics and subsystems. Micro-optics are the next-generation of optical components and they enable the collection, distribution or modification of light. These cost-effective miniature components are designed to replace conventional bulk optics with the additional benefit of greater functionality, resulting in new products that would not have been possible using conventional optics.
