Abstract: An optical system and method for producing the same comprising molding components including a waveguide directly within a lens, by placing the components within a UV transparent mold.

Abstract: A method of producing a lens with an embedded foil, comprising the steps of positioning a foil (10) on a foil fixation holder, providing adhesive attachment dots (41) on the foil (10) on surface portions (12) opposite to the foil fixation holder, positioning the front mould (30) ensuring the contact of the attachment dots (41) with a surface (31) of the front mould (30), retracting the foil fixation holder and positioning a back mould (120) opposite to the front mould (30).

Abstract: A lens with an embedded foil is produced, comprising the steps of providing a first mold and a second mold, providing a functional foil, positioning and attaching the functional foil on the first mold, aligning the second mold relatively to the first mold, sealing the mold cavity between the first mold and the second mold, and filling a curable monomer mixture into the mold cavity, wherein either the molds are heated before the alignment step or the molds are heated after the sealing step and the following filling step is conducted with a heated monomer, or the heating of the molds follows the filling step of the UV curable monomer, followed by a UV curing step of the heated UV curable monomer mixture within the heated mold cavity.

Abstract: A lens with an embedded foil is produced by positioning a foil on a holder, providing adhesive attachment dots on the foil on surface portions opposite to the holder, positioning a front mould ensuring the contact of the dots with a front mould surface, retracting the holder and positioning a back mould opposite to the front mould. The mould is then connected with a sealing bridge to build an assembly forming a mould cavity with a pouring opening. The edge of the foil is spaced apart from the bridge and the assembly has passages between the dots, the foil, and the front mould surface allowing pouring a monomer into the cavity before curing the monomer, decomposing the assembly and cutting the lens from the polymer block.

Abstract: A method of spacing an object from a mould for the formation of a multi-layered polymer. The method comprises: attaching at least one spacer to the object; attaching the at least one spacer to the mould; and adding material to the mould to form the multi-layered polymer.

Abstract: A method for producing and coating a lens includes: applying a curable paste along the edge of a first molding shell and along the edge of the second molding shell, connecting the two molding shells by means of a sealing element to form a unit, casting a monomer into the unit, curing the monomer and the paste so that the lens is formed, detaching the sealing element from the unit, separating the lens from the two molding shells, placing the lens in a vacuum chamber of a vacuum-coating installation, and coating an optical surface of the lens, wherein no washing process is carried out between the step of separating the lens from the two molding shells and the step of placing the lens in the vacuum chamber.

Abstract: A vacuum-coating system for coating lenses comprises a vacuum chamber, an electrode holder having one or more electrodes, and a lens holder receptacle having one or more lens holders for accommodating one lens each. A separate electrode is assigned to each lens. A surface of the electrode facing the lens is a curved surface. In an outer area, the curvature of the surface of the electrode(s) can be greater than in an inner area. The distance between the electrode and the associated lens can be adjustable.
