Request InfoOPCO Laboratory Inc.Opco Laboratory Inc.’s Replication Process reproduces complex optics with high quality and repeatability. It transfers the profile of a precision optical surface from a master and creates a duplicate on a range of substrates, including glass, silicon carbide and ceramic, and metals such as beryllium, aluminum, titanium and stainless steel. The replicated optics are less expensive and often lighter than the master. The process produces a variety of ruled and holographic diffraction gratings, reflective and transmission holographic optical elements, dual-wavelength gratings, and plano and conic...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPHOTONICS HANDBOOK ARTICLESPhotonics HandbookOptical Design Software: Fundamentals and PotentialOptical design software allows the user to develop a configuration of optical elements that manipulate the trajectory of light for the purposes of creating an image, illuminating a target, coupling...WEBINARSPhotonics.com 1/18/2023Key Considerations for Part and Sample Holding in Interferometric CharacterizationInterferometry is a powerful tool when used to characterize optical surface form errors, as well as accumulated errors, when measuring transmitted wavefronts.
