Produces large and demanding high precision optical components and systems for more than 40 years and is today internationally acknowledged for its technical expertise, attention to quality and customer service.
Using dielectric coating technology, fast focusing on-axis mirrors are employed with high-power femtosecond lasers at 750–850 nm in laser physics research.
UV-Vis-NIR collimator and laser unequal path-length interferometer supplied by Optical Surfaces helped set up the DESIS hyperspectral Earth-observation instrument.
Athermalized beam expanders are based on a Dall-Kirkham off-axis mirror design that incorporates INVAR elements to provide thermal stabilization from the UV to the IR.
From the IR to the x-ray wavelength range, astronomical optics use light-controlling components for imaging celestial objects, such as using a telescope.
