Consumer Optics

Avantier Inc is a premier producer of high-quality consumer optics for worldwide markets. Our optical solutions have been used in thousands of products worldwide, and you can find them in anything from high-definition TVs to driverless cars, from security systems to AR/VR headsets and mobile phone cameras. 

The Future of Consumer Optics

There’s a strong trend in consumer optics today. Optics used in consumer electronics are becoming more sophisticated, more precise, and, often, smaller. No longer does a mobile phone camera contain just three to four plastic elements; today, high-end phones will contain a complex array of specialty elements with carefully chosen optical quality.

Miniature-sized optics are increasing in importance, as are optical metasurfaces (OMs) which are specialty optical components with surface layers scales that are smaller than the wavelength of light and allow unprecedented sculpting of light at the nanoscale level. Optical metasurfaces are manufactured with a combination of lithography, thin film deposition, and chemical etching. 

Optical sensors have become omnipresent in electronic devices, enabling real-time contactless feedback loops that guide usage or protect against mishaps. Optical sensing itself has increased greatly in sophistication, and optical solutions are available for use in almost any kind of environment.

Consumer Optics at Avantier

At Avantier Inc., our extensive in-house manufacturing equipment allows us to produce a wide range of consumer optics, from lenses, mirrors, prisms, and beamsplitters to complex multipart assemblies that come ready to insert into your consumer electronic device. Examples of products that might include an Avantier optical component include:

• Smartphones
• Computers
• Cameras
• Webcams
• Security devices
• Night vision products
• Binoculars
• Rifle scopes
• Thermal imaging systems
• Self-driving cars
• Robotic vacuum cleaners
• VR/AR Headsets

Of course, this is only a partial list. If your consumer product includes a viewfinder or machine vision of any kind, it contains an optical assembly that was produced at a factory like ours. Optical solutions are becoming more and more omnipresent in consumer products every year, as simple electronics get phased out and smart devices become the norm.

Custom Design for Consumer Optics

The consumer-focused industry is competitive, and there isn’t much room for people making last decade’s products. If you’re looking for a designer of optical solutions for consumer products, you need a company that not only has extensive manufacturing capabilities but is also aware of all the latest research and is able to work at the forefront of optics. 

That’s who we are at Avantier. With a flexibility rare among companies of our size, we can work with you to craft solutions that can optimize your product and wow your users. From feasibility testing to risk reduction, development, prototypes and a pilot build, we help you hone down exactly what you want to see in your optic. 

Should you move on to mass production, you’ll have confidence that your optical solution will perform exactly as desired within your consumer device. We use design for manufacturing (DFM) to ensure our blueprints and designs are both affordable and able to be produced within a reasonable turn-around time.  For more information on how Avantier can partner with you on the design and manufacturing of optics for your consumer related product, please contact us if you’d like to schedule a free consultation or request for quote.
