Services
Custom Optics
We design and manufacture custom optical components to exact specifications, including aspheric lenses, prisms, and beam splitters. Our engineers collaborate directly with clients to optimize designs for performance and cost efficiency. With capabilities spanning UV to IR wavelengths, we serve specialized needs in medical imaging, aerospace, and laser systems.
Stock Lenses
Our inventory includes over 100 standard lens types, from plano-convex to achromatic doublets. These off-the-shelf components reduce lead times for common applications in industrial sensing and imaging. All stock lenses meet lambda/30 flatness and 5-2 surface quality standards for reliable performance.
Plastic Optics
We produce precision plastic lenses and diffractive optics using acrylic, polycarbonate, and polystyrene materials. These lightweight, cost-effective solutions excel in high-volume applications like consumer electronics and optical sensors. Our molding capabilities support production runs from prototyping to millions of units.
Optical Coatings
Our coating services include anti-reflective, high-reflective, and dielectric coatings tailored to specific wavelengths. Using e-beam and ion-assisted deposition, we achieve >99.8% transmission in telecom applications. Custom coating designs optimize performance for UV, visible, and infrared systems.
UV-Grade Components
We specialize in synthetic fused silica optics for UV applications, offering exceptional transmission and thermal stability. Products include excimer-grade windows and UV achromats with dual-band anti-reflective coatings. These components are critical for semiconductor manufacturing, spectroscopy, and UV curing systems.
