Off-axis paraboloids (OAP)OAPs can be the solution to many problems in optical design. They can often provide the most cost-effective answer with no compromise in performance. |  |
|
OAPs offer the advantage of an unobstructed aperture and access to the focal region to system designers. They are especially suitable for broadband or multiple wavelength applications due to their completely achromatic performance.
Example Applications for Off-axis paraboloids: Collimators, Target projection, Telescopes, MTF test systems, Beam expanders MRTD test systems, FLIR test systems, Laser systems and so on.  DATA SHEETS• Off-axis Paraboloids • Gimbal Mirror Mounts <300mm- pdf • Gimbal Mirror Mounts >300mm- pdf | |
