Case Study for End Using
End User: Apple Inc. (USA)
Application: Integrated into compact camera and proximity-sensor modules for smartphones and wearable devices.
Installation Location / Usage Stage
Mounted directly over image sensors or laser emitters.
Aligned within micron-scale tolerances in automated assembly lines.
Paired with AR coatings to improve optical efficiency and reduce stray reflections.
Purpose
Focuses and directs light onto sensors or fibers.
Improves optical coupling efficiency in compact form factors.
Enables miniaturization of imaging and sensing modules.
Effect
Increased light-collection efficiency by 19%.
Reduced optical loss in sensor modules.
Enabled thinner camera stacks without sacrificing performance.
Alternative Optical Components
Aspheric microlenses offer lower aberration but at higher manufacturing cost.
GRIN lenses provide compact focusing but are less tolerant to alignment errors.
Plano-convex microlenses are easier to manufacture but larger in footprint.
Therefore, Spherical Ball Microlenses remain a highly efficient and scalable optical solution for high-volume, miniaturized photonic systems requiring reliable performance at competitive cost.
