Ascending Optics Brightens Lunar New Year with Stunning Dragon-Themed Optics

St. Helens, OR – January 26, 2024 – Ascending Optics LLC, a leading innovator in high-performance optical solutions based in St. Helens, Oregon, is thrilled to announce a special line of products designed to celebrate the Lunar New Year, specifically focusing on the majestic Dragon – a symbol of power, good fortune, and prosperity. We’re a small team, passionately building optics right here in the US, and this year, we wanted to do something special to mark the Lunar New Year. Who is Ascending Optics? Let’s get straight to the point – we’re a bit of a boutique operation. We're not a massive factory; we're a team of optics nerds and skilled craftspeople dedicated to building incredibly high-quality lenses, prisms, and optical assemblies. Based out of our facility at 364 S 6th St, St. Helens, OR, we serve a wide range of industries - from aerospace and defense, to medical devices, scientific research, and even hobbyist telescope builders. We pride ourselves on being flexible, responsive, and delivering custom solutions that bigger companies just can't match. You can reach us at 626-271-4857 if you’re curious about what we can do. We don't just sell optics; we craft them. The Lunar New Year Dragon Collection: Seeing the Year of the Dragon in a New Light This year, the Lunar New Year falls on February 10th, and it's the Year of the Dragon! We've channeled that energy into a unique collection of optical components and finished products. We’re not talking about just slapping a dragon image onto something; we’ve actually incorporated dragon-inspired design elements and symbolic colors into the optics themselves. What’s Available? We've got a few different things, designed for different budgets and uses. Think of it as a range, from little tokens of the New Year to something truly special. Dragon Scale Prism: This isn’t your average prism. We’ve precision-cut a borosilicate glass prism with a unique surface texture resembling dragon scales. Light refracts through it, creating a dazzling rainbow effect, and the scale texture adds a beautiful, shimmering quality. It’s perfect for desktop displays, photography, or just as a fascinating conversation piece. We're making these in a limited run, with each one individually inspected. They come with a little stand to showcase them. Crimson Dragon Lens Set: We’ve created a set of three high-quality, multi-coated lenses, each featuring a subtle crimson hue – red is the color for good luck and prosperity in Lunar New Year celebrations! These aren’t just colored glass; the coating is specifically designed to enhance light transmission and reduce glare. The set includes a wide-angle lens for sweeping landscapes, a telephoto lens for getting closer to the action, and a macro lens for capturing intricate details. Perfect for photographers wanting to add a bit of New Year magic to their shots. They fit standard camera mounts. Dragon’s Eye Beam Splitter: This is where things get really interesting. We've engineered a beam splitter featuring an etched dragon eye design. It divides a single beam of light into two, creating a dramatic visual effect. The design isn’t just for looks; the etching pattern subtly alters the light refraction, adding a unique distortion to the split beams. It’s geared towards laser enthusiasts, scientific demonstrations, or artistic installations. This one is for the more technically-minded folks. Limited Edition Dragon-Inspired Telescope Objective Lens: We're really proud of this one. This is a high-precision, achromatic doublet objective lens for telescopes, designed to deliver sharp, high-contrast images. We’ve incorporated a subtle, multi-layered coating that shifts between shades of gold and red, reminiscent of a dragon’s scales catching the light. This isn’t just about aesthetics, the coating also helps minimize chromatic aberration. This is the top-of-the-line product and extremely limited in quantity. It's for serious telescope builders and astronomy buffs. Why Did We Do This? We wanted to do something more than just sell products. We believe in celebrating different cultures and traditions. The Lunar New Year is a hugely important event for millions of people around the world, and the Year of the Dragon is particularly significant. We wanted to create something beautiful and meaningful that people could enjoy and that embodies the spirit of the New Year. Plus, it was a fun design challenge for our team!
