While OPTICON is capable
of fabricating conventional glass optics, our specialty lies in fabrication
of metal, ceramic, or composite optics that can incorporate integral mounts,
adjustments, and other features. By eliminating separate mounting structures
and working with materials
other than glass,
optical systems can be made lighter, more thermally stable, and more rigid,
while facilitating assembly and increasing repeatability. Our unique manufacturing
processes allow substrate designs that would not otherwise be feasible,
and mirror surfaces can be placed in locations that would otherwise be impossible. |
