Sawing, grinding, lapping and polishing equipment and consumables for surface preparation of optical components and surfaces. Specialized slicing, dicing, spherical and sculpted-end generation equipment.

The requirement of to produce optical surfaces that transmit light correctly is widespread through industry. We have given particular attention to optical materials and components in the related areas of BARE FIBERS .

CONVENIENT PROCESSING OF COMPONENTS

Processing of flats, windows, and prisms is made straightforward with the use ULTRAPOL machines, that incorporate advanced micropositioners, equipped with ‘Quick Release’ workholders to hold samples of most sizes, shapes and orientations firmly and accurately. In most cases this is possible without the need for waxes are cements, due to the unique design of workholders for typical and custom integrated optics, bare fiber and related applications. For more information.

For larger surfaces, the  MULTIPOL polishers provide the answer for achieving optically flat (and parallel) surfaces.

LASER RODS

MULTIPOL's provide a cost-effective means of producing and refurbishing extremely flat and parallel laser rods of materials such as YAG, ruby, sapphire and other crystal materials. The system is used in conjunction with a precision polishing jig, that allows precise alignment and incorporates an independent central sample loading section. The hollow center allows a laser rod to be accurately mounted and prepared at both ends, but also facilitates use of the autocollimator optical tool, to provide alignment and overall parallelism down to a few seconds of arc.
