Precision Optical is looking forward to meeting with industry colleagues next week in San Diego, CA at the SPIE Optics + Photonics 2024 exhibition, August 20-22. At this event, we are eager to share the latest research in optical engineering and applications, nanotechnology, sustainable energy, and organic photonics. Precision Optical will be exhibiting at Booth 339, at the San Diego Convention Center. Jeremy Gordon (VP of Sales & CRO) and Jim McClure (Sales Manager) will be representing our company throughout the exhibition, Nicolaus Lambert (CTO & President) will be in attendance Tuesday 8/20 & Wednesday 8/21.
For 65 years, Precision Optical has earned a widely recognized reputation for reliability, value, and quality precision optics for the most demanding applications worldwide. An ISO 9001:2015 certified, ITAR-registered, and RoHs/Reach compliant company, Precision Optical offers a diverse portfolio of capabilities for the prototyping and large-volume production of precision optical components for the biomedical, aerospace, defense, semiconductor, metrology and laser industries. These capabilities include optical fabrication, optical polishing, CNC Machining, optomechanical assembly and integration, thin-film coating, engineering and metrology services.
Key to Precision Optical’s success has been our commitment to expanding our capabilities in all areas of optical fabrication and metrology, giving us unsurpassed process control and flexibility in responding to customer requirements and continuing our effort in being vertically integrated. Staying true to our commitment and in our quest to provide our customers with the widest variety of high-precision optics and coating options, Precision Optical has brought on line multiple new coating chambers over the past few years, including its first Ion-Beam Sputtering (IBS) vacuum chamber. We have also added new 72”, 84” and 96” continuous polishers, a new 12″ vertical interferometer and a new 24” interferometer.
Our broad specialty has always remained the same: extremely accurate and precise custom optics such as custom prisms, alignment cubes, corner cube retroreflectors, complex optomechanical assemblies, and large optical flats and windows. In particular, Precision Optical’s core product has always been the ultra-precise prism. We manufacture some of the most challenging prisms in the world, from standard prism shapes to intricate custom geometries. Producing large volume sub arc second angle accuracies, and lambda/50 surface figures deterministically. We are capable of producing prism sizes from 3 mm to 300 mm as individual components or as multi-component prism assemblies and large optical flats and windows up to 800 mm. Moreover, Precision Optical applies thin-film coatings in-house to 98% of all the coated optical components we manufacture, on material from UV to NIR.
Need help with high quality material? Precision Optical has great relationships with our fantastic material suppliers. In some instances, we have stocked ahead of various types to support customer needs. Combined with our ability to quantify stress birefringence, accurately inspect bubbles/inclusions with grain counting software, and inspect homogeneity on optics/materials up to 24″ we are well equipped to provide certified, high quality materials. In addition, we are also entertaining some proposals for optics made out of IR materials including CaF2, Si, ZnSe & Ge. If you would like to setup a personal meeting at the show in advance, please email Jeremy Gordon at sales@precisionoptical.com. When you need someone to rely on, we got your back!!!! Plus we know karate…..
