Jenoptik Extends Diamond-Turning Capabilities to US

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
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.

Glossary
astronomy
The scientific observation of celestial radiation that has reached the vicinity of Earth, and the interpretation of these observations to determine the characteristics of the extraterrestrial bodies and phenomena that have emitted the radiation.
calcium fluoride
An optical material used in place of crown glass to produce lenses with extraordinary correction of chromatic aberrations. Its high coefficient of thermal expansion and its tendency to absorb moisture limit its range of application.
diamond turning
Diamond turning, also known as diamond machining or diamond cutting, is a precision machining process used to produce high-quality optical surfaces and components with extremely tight tolerances. It involves the use of a single-point diamond cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece, typically made of metals, plastics, or optical materials like glass or crystals. In diamond turning, the cutting tool, which has a diamond tip, is controlled with high precision and moved relative to the...
germanium
A crystalline semiconductor material that transmits in the infrared.
infrared
Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
metrology
Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
zinc sulfide
A polycrystalline material that transmits in the infrared; it is used as a phosphor in x-ray and television screens.
