Micro-Optics
- High precision laser optics and assemblies from 1 mm in size
- Multi-element assemblies with epoxy-free optical paths
- Custom dielectric HR, AR and polarizing coatings available
- Applications include biophotonics, endoscopy and telecommunications
Whether you need 10 or 10,000 pieces, our precision wafer-based processes result in high yields and competitive costs, especially at higher volumes. These high-quality custom optics and optical assemblies combine our IBS coatings, ultraprecise fabrication capabilities and epoxy-free, bonding technology—Chemically Activated Direct Bonding™ (CADB®) to produce components which are widely used in the telecommunications, semi-conductor and biomedical industries.
These assemblies are ideal for increasing the sensitivity in beam-delivery micro-systems, fiber-optic, and endoscopic systems used in fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, optical-coherence tomography (OCT), multiphoton microscopy (MPM) and confocal microscopy. Because of their miniature size, they can be placed right at the objective lens or at the tip of optical fibers and light pipes.
Products include:
Solid and air-spaced etalons
Polarization beamsplitters
Waveplates
Beamsplitter cubes
Right angle turning prisms
Call us to discuss your requirements for custom etalons, prisms, cubes, waveplates, polarizers and micro-optic assemblies.
