Pushing the Boundaries of AR/VR/XR Innovation: Greenlight Optics’ Precision Optics and Optical Assemblies
Wednesday, July 16, 2025
At Greenlight Optics, we’re helping shape the future of immersive technology. From augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to extended reality (XR), our optical engineering and manufacturing capabilities are empowering the next generation of wearable displays, headsets, and spatial computing systems. By leveraging our expertise in precision optics and rapid prototyping, we support the full product development lifecycle—from early-stage concept to high-performance, production-ready assemblies.
Enabling Immersive Experiences with Advanced Optics
Immersive systems like AR smart glasses and VR headsets demand optics that are compact, lightweight, and precisely engineered. That’s where Greenlight Optics stands out as a vertically integrated optical solutions organization.
We specialize in designing and manufacturing polymer optics for cutting-edge display and imaging systems. Our rapid prototyping capabilities allow us to quickly deliver proof-of-concept optics and optical assemblies using ultra high-precision polymer molding—reducing development time while maintaining exceptional optical quality. Whether it’s freeform optics, aspheres, prisms, or lens arrays, our team delivers the speed and precision that spatial computing systems demand. We also can fabricate lenses in virtually every optical material which allows us to control your bill of materials under one roof, further reducing lead times and the costs associated with managing multiple vendors.
SWaP-Optimized Optical Assemblies
Wearable AR/VR/XR systems are only as effective as they are practical. That’s why SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) principles are at the core of our optical assembly engineering. Not only are we experts in polymer optics, we also provide hybrid glass/polymer systems that take advantage of the unique characteristics of each material while still helping to keep your system below the target weight and energy consumption targets.
Our optical assemblies are tightly integrated, thermally stable, and optimized for minimal footprint. We can routinely deliver some of the most cutting-edge optical designs due to our vertically integrated process that ensures mechanical, optical, and electronic components are matched into compact, yet robust packages that meet the performance and ergonomic demands of wearable manufacturers.
From head-mounted displays to spatial sensors, Greenlight has a proven track record of delivering rugged, miniaturized systems that meet stringent performance specifications—without sacrificing user comfort or power efficiency.
