So the Triptis team were already well equipped. A system for the
etching of nanostructures was available immediately, because
Fraunhofer researchers had installed it years ago. However, its
original purpose was primarily to coat lenses with plasma-assisted
vacuum sputtering. Now one and the same machine is also
used to create the moth’s eye structures using plasma etching.
From endoscopy to display.
The perfect antireflective coating on nearly any surface shape –
Jenoptik is one of the few manufacturers anywhere in the world
that can implement that dream goal. The Nanomoth is already
being greeted by the market with great interest. Well-known
companies, primarily in medical technology, the pharmaceutical
industry, and optical technology, are already customers and
are using lenses with moth’s eye structures from Triptis in their
equipment. From automobile valves and monitoring cameras to
medical technology applications like endoscopy to displays of all
kinds that can provide clear, high-contrast images – the applications,
markets, and opportunities are countless.
Shape-neutral regularity.
And the Nanomoth cuts a good figure on a variety of surface
configurations. On spherical lenses, for example. Here, the
reflection is suppressed in a color-neutral manner right to the
edge – fully evenly, without the distorting color fringes that
can result from classical coating. But smooth surfaces, irregular
shapes, and complex structures like optical grates on binary
lenses, can also be given regular, effective antireflective properties
thanks to the Nanomoth.

were not necessary because Jenoptik had the latest technology already available.
