About us

Since 40 years, Docter Optics has been a leader in the development and serial production of optical components and systems, ensuring more safety in life.

The company has launched several patented processes for the industrial large scale production of multifunctional free-form components and recently also precision optics made of glass. With the help of a unique and also patented multi-layer process, Docter Optics can furthermore offer complex polymer optics. The manufactured optical and optoelectronic systems addresses besides the AUTOMOTIVE market additional fields of applications such as DIAGNOSTICS and ANALYTICS (e.g. fluorescence microscopes), SECURITY (e.g. fingerprint scanners) and INDUSTRIAL SENSORS (e.g. optics for machine vision).

From optical semi-finished products to precision components, large-volume glass products from the glass furnace, highly complex polymer optics and individual hybrid systems, Docter Optics understand the physics of the materials and offering extensive experience in optics.

We develop and manufacture (optical) components made of glass or polymer in an almost infinite variety of shapes: aspheres, freeforms, prisms, arrays, mirrors, light tunnels or precision optics.

Customized, precision glass optics out of an industrial process.

Free-form glass optics out liquid glass within an industrial process.

Slim glass lenses, primary- & secondary optics as well as hybrid lenses.

With state-of-the-art machinery, which is unrivalled in the international competitive environment, Docter Optics can produce an almost endless variety of individual glass products in a short space of time.

CNC machining as well as conventional glass services like drilling / deep hole drilling, sawing, grinding, chamfering, water jet cutting

Customized polymer optics out of a patented multilayer process

Using its own glass melting process, Docter Optics produces DOCTAN® glass specially developed for the demanding automotive environment. DOCTAN® is an exceptionally brilliant optical glass that offers outstanding performance in terms of thermal behaviour, strength and UV stability.

Optical systems require more than just cleanliness and precision. We support product design, assemble according to your specifications, and supply, if requested, even complete, complex systems, even in a cleanroom environment.

Optical Systems - Complexity is our passion. Reliability is our claim.

Optical systems are created when several optical components are combined with each other. Docter Optics not only handles the assembly and delivery for you, but also the optical design and construction of complex systems on request. Docter Optics carries out complex simulations for you and designs your optical system precisely so that it fulfils all requirements and functions reliably even under demanding conditions. This starts with the selection of the materials used for the optics: We manufacture in glass or plastic and can also offer hybrid systems if required. You can rely on our 40 years of experience in handling optics, our technological expertise in manufacturing and the skills of our specialists.
