Polarizer/Waveplate
A polarizer or also known as a wave plate or retarder is an optical device that changes the polarization state of light waves passing through it. Two common waveplates are half-waveplates, which change the polarization direction of linearly polarized light, and quarter-w...Read more -
High-Tech Filters and Polarizers/Waveplates
High-Tech Filters and Polarizers/Waveplates A filter is a special type of flat window that, when placed in the light path, selectively transmits or rejects a specific range of wavelengths (=colors). The optical properties of a filter are described by its frequency respon...Read more -
Mirrors and Optical Windows
Optical mirrors consist of a piece of glass (called a substrate) with a top surface coated with a highly reflective material, such as aluminum, silver, or gold, which effectively reflects as much light as possible. They are used in a wide variety of industries such as li...Read more -
Custom Optical Precision Mirrors
Custom Optical Precision Mirrors High-precision optical mirrors are increasingly used in optical systems where size constraints require more compact systems. The purpose of these particularly efficient mirrors is to deflect the beam without losing energy, while maintaini...Read more -
Aspherical lens
Aspheric lenses have more complex surface geometries because they do not follow part of a sphere. Aspheric lenses are rotationally symmetric and have one or more aspheric surfaces that differ in shape from a sphere. The main advantage of such lenses is that they signific...Read more -
Spherical lens
The most commonly used types of lenses are spherical lenses, which are used in many different applications to collect, focus and diverge light beams by means of refraction. Custom spherical lenses include UV, VIS, NIR and IR ranges: ...Read more -
CPP FILM
Cast Polypropylene Because of diverse end-use demands, this material is available in a wide variety of designs from single layer homopolymer to coextruded copolymers. Clear, white & opaque colors in smooth, matte or embossed finishes enable you to select a product that best meets your specifi...Read more -
Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) Film
Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film has become a popular high growth film in the world market due to its unique combination of properties such as better shrinkage, stiffness, clarity, sealing, torsion retention and barrier properties. BOPP films are used in a variety of applications, inc...Read more -
optical lens
Optical lenses are optical devices designed to focus or disperse light. Optical lenses can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and can consist of a single element or form part of a multi-element compound lens system. They are used for focusing light and images, generating magnification, correc...Read more -
Filters
Filters use glass and optical coatings to select and control specific spectra of light, transmitting or attenuating light as needed. The two most common filters are those used for absorption and interference. Filter properties are either embedded in the glass in the solid state or applied in mult...Read more -
Optical mirror
Optical mirrors are used in optical instruments to reflect light directed by highly polished, curved or flat glass surfaces. These are treated with reflective optical coating materials such as aluminum, silver and gold. Optical mirror substrates are made of low expansion glass, depending on the q...Read more -
Optical window
Optical windows are flat, parallel, transparent optical surfaces designed to protect sensors and other electronics from environmental conditions. Optical window selection considerations include material transmission properties as well as scattering, intensity, and resistance to certain environmen...Read more -
laboratory glass
Laboratory glass, slide and flat products are used by scientific research laboratories in a range of microscopy and scientific applications. High quality float glass and borosilicate materials, widely used for coverslips and microscope slides. Many microscopes in laboratory research and experimen...Read more -
Optical element
The broad portfolio of optical components includes: coatings, mirrors, lenses, laser windows, optical prisms, polarizing optics, UV and IR optics, filters. The optical components product range includes: • Plano optics, eg; windows, filters (stained glass, interference) • Mirrors (planar, spherica...Read more -
Optical coatings
Optical coatings affect the ability of optical elements to transmit and/or reflect light. Thin-film optical coating deposition on optical elements can impart different behaviors, such as anti-reflection for lenses and high reflection for mirrors. Optical coating materials containing silicon and o...Read more -
Protection and Performance of Vacuum Coatings
Most importantly, the critical components you use and manufacture need to be built to last. Vacuum coating technology achieves this goal. Making a part durable isn’t just about extending its life, though. It’s about maintaining a high level of performance throughout the life of that p...Read more
