Jenoptik Extends Diamond-Turning Capabilities to US

With the installation of equipment in its manufacturing operations, Jenoptik Optical Systems Inc. has announced the extension of its diamond turning capabilities to its US-based operations.
This will expand the overall custom optics capabilities of Jenoptik in the US and minimize effects from import and export agencies such as ITAR in the US and from licensing agencies such as BAFA in Germany. The Jupiter facility will be capable of diamond turning infrared materials including germanium, calcium fluoride, zinc sulfide, zinc selenide, aluminum and chalcogenide glass.

The US-based capabilities complement those of Jenoptik AG in Jena, Germany.

Jenoptik Optical Systems Inc. formed after Jenoptik merged its subsidiaries Coastal Optical Systems, Liebmann Optical Co. and, later, MEMS Optical and Jenoptik Polymer Systems. Its markets include life sciences research, defense, semiconductor manufacturing, digital projection, optical metrology and astronomical research.
