Latest News  Precision Prisms Supplied for Habitable Planet ResearchOptical Surfaces Ltd. reports first solar light results has been achieved by the SPIRou spectrograph* which is installed at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). Chosen as a key supplier for this prestigious project - Optical Surfaces Ltd fabricated and delivered several key optical components of the SPIRou spectrograph, namely the twin ZnSe prisms and the Infrasil prism making the SPIRou triple-prism-train cross-disperser. The large Infrasil prism and the twin ZnSe prisms ... Precision Etalons Enable High Resolution, High Contrast SpectroscopyOptical Surfaces Ltd. announces receipt of an order for precisely matched precision etalon pairs from The Table Stable Ltd (Mettmenstetten, Switzerland) for use as a key component in their ultra high resolution JRS series interferometers. Operating in a uniquely stable manufacturing environment – Optical Surfaces' skilled production team is able to routinely produce the 50mm diameter fused silica etalons pairs for Table Stable with matching accuracies of better than lambda /200. ... Fizeau Interferometer for Testing Very Large Diameter FlatsOptical Surfaces Ltd has developed a 600mm Fizeau interferometer enabling it to now offer quality testing of flats in a single aperture up to 600mm in diameter. This is a capability that only a few optical testing and manufacturing centres around the world possess. Housed in an ultra-stable testing environment, this interferometric set-up will allow direct qualification of larger flat mirrors up to 600mm diameter by testing them directly over their ... Beam Compressor for Magdalena Ridge Observatory InterferometerOptical Surfaces Ltd. has been selected by the Magdalena Ridge Observatory (Socorro, New Mexico, USA) to produce an ultra-stable 7.5x off-axis beam compressor that will form a key beam transfer element in the facility's optical interferometer. When completed the Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer (MROI) will be one of the world's most powerful optical-infrared interferometers, dedicated to high resolution imaging of all types of astronomical objects. The objects that will be observed ... |
