Every optic a system
actually uses.
Lenses, windows, mirrors, filters, polarizers, beamsplitters, prisms and laser optics — quoted to print on the twelve substrates we stock. Substrate and coating set the performance; the drawing sets the rest.

What belongs on the RFQ.
Lenses
Plano-convex, meniscus, biconvex, cylindrical and aspheric. IR crystals, chalcogenide, fused silica and N-BK7.
- EFL12 – 500 mm typical
- Centration< 3 arc-min typical
Windows & flats
Plane, wedged (FTIR etalon control) and vacuum windows. Diffusers for source homogenization.
- Wedge0° · 0.5° · specified
- Clear aperture≥ 90% of Ø typical
Mirrors
Dielectric HR, protected metal, and diamond-turned copper — including water-cooled CO2 turning mirrors.
- R @ 10.6 µm (Cu)> 98%
- CoolingUncooled · water
Filters
Bandpass, long-pass, short-pass and notch from DUV through LWIR. THz low-pass on request.

- AOI0° typical · specified
Polarizers & wave plates
Wire-grid IR polarizers, crystal wave plates, and THz polarizers when the band is millimetre-wave.
- ExtinctionQuoted per band
- Retardanceλ/4 · λ/2 · custom
Beamsplitters
Plate and cube splitters; FTIR beamsplitters (KBr, CaF2, ZnSe) matched to the bench band.

- PolarizationNP · s · p
Prisms & gratings
Dispersion, ATR and right-angle prisms. Ruled or holographic gratings for spectrometer OEMs.

Laser optics
Cavity OC/HR, focusing lenses, beam expanders. Power density and λ belong on the RFQ — they change the coating.
