Capabilities

Outlined below is an overview of our optical component manufacturing capabilities and the measuring equipment used to ensure conformance to specified optical and geometrical parameters

Plano optical elements

Plano optical components have one or more plan polished surfaces. Our product offering includes elements with parallel or wedged surfaces like mirrors, windows, wedges, etc. as well as all types of prisms.

Furthermore we offer color glass filters, thin film filters, beamsplitter plates and cubes. Special capabilities in micro optics (down to 0.2 mm) and large components up to 3200 x 400 mm complete the product line.

One of our key differentiators is highly accurate surfaces on large substrates (e.g. λ/4 on 300 mm diameter).

Depending on material and geometry the following specifications can be achieved:

Dimensions from 2 mm up to 1000 mm or more
Surface flatness up to λ/40 P-V
Parallelism or angular accuracy of 1 arc sec
Surface quality up to 5 / N x 0.001 according to ISO 10110-7

Curved optical elements

Curved optics are components with one or more spherical or aspherical surfaces. Our capabilities include singlet lenses like plano-convex, plano-concave, bi-convex, bi-concave or meniscus lenses as well as cylindrical lenses. Additionally achromats and other multi-element components made of different materials are manufactured according to your design in order to meet the requirement of your application.

Depending on the type of component and material requested the following specifications can be achieved:

Dimensions up to 150mm or higher on request
Surface flatness up to λ/10 P-V
Surface quality up to 5 / N x 0.001 according to ISO 10110-7

Optical Coatings

AR–coatings like single layer (R<1.5%)
Multi-layer (R<0.25%)
Broadband (Ravg<0.4%) or laser grade (R<0.15%) with selectable wavelength / wavelength range
Metallic reflective coatings as Aluminum, Silver or Gold
High reflective dielectric coatings (R>99.8%)
ND-Filter coatings
Dichroic filter coatings (color filter, heat reflection, cold-light, etc.)
Beam splitter coatings (single wavelength or broadband for VIS, UV, IR, polarizing or non-polarizing)
Other coatings on request
