Capabilities
Computer design through final polish, in one facility.
Every optic passes through computer design and finite element analysis, slicing, grinding, machining, etching, bonding, and polishing under one roof — verified against spec before it ships.
In the Shop
The equipment behind the spec.
Ultrasonic Impact Grinders
Used to shape and rough-grind substrates to near-final form before fine grinding and polishing.
14 Foot (4.3 Meter) Diameter Polishing Machine
Our large-format polishing platform, built in-house to hold super-polished tolerances across large-aperture substrates.
Zygo Interferometer System
Precision optical metrology used to verify surface figure and finish against spec before an optic ships.
