Components

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.

Component types

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.

  • CWL / edgeTo print
  • 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.
