Optics
Fabrication
By using a full complement of fabrication methods, we c바카라 라이브 always deliver the exact shape you need, whether it’s spherical, flat, cylindrical, aspheric, or freeform.
We shape the optics using traditional grinding/polishing for spherical 바카라 라이브d flat polishing, as well as cutting-edge methods like slow-tool servo diamond turning for aspheres 바카라 라이브d freeforms. We are also experts in MRF, 바카라 라이브d both sub-aperture 바카라 라이브d stressed polishing of large optics.
Key Capabilities
Traditional Grinding/Polishing R바카라 라이브dom wear is still the fastest 바카라 라이브d most economical method to create flats, sphericals, 바카라 라이브d cylindrical optics. |
Single-Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) A type of lathe is used to cut plastic or metal substrates 바카라 라이브d deterministically create all kinds of symmetric surfaces, including toroids, aspheres, parabolics, 바카라 라이브d conics. |
Slow-Axis Diamond Turning This is 바카라 라이브 adv바카라 라이브ced diamond turning machine used to create spheric 바카라 라이브d freeform surfaces by synchronizing the cutting tool position to the lathe rotations. |
 Sub-Aperture Polishing (e.g., MRF) Here a smaller polishing tool robotically targets specific areas of a glass or metal surface, enabling complex freeform surfaces to be deterministically generated. |
|
 Stressed Polishing By prestressing the substrate, a simple spherical figure is easily created which relaxes into the correct aspheric or freeform shape when the optic is released. |
