OPTICON has extensive capabilities in the manufacture
of aspheric mirrors and lenses. High-accuracy aspheric elements can be produced
in prototype through volume-production quantities at a fraction of the cost
associated with making similar components by conventional methods. Surfaces
and coatings suitable for use in the deep UV through the far IR can be produced
in virtually any accuracy, and substrates can incorporate integral mounts
and kinematic adjustments if necessary. Many aspheric components can be
designed to simply "bolt in place"; there is no additional alignment
or adjustment necessary for assembly into the instrument. |
