Latest News Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors for Imaging Applications Optical Surfaces Ltd is a leading international manufacturer of Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors (OAPs) for demanding imaging applications. Off-axis parabolic mirrors can be a useful tool in optical design. OAPs combine the achromatic and diffraction limited imaging properties of a parabolic mirror with the ability to deviate the light path off-axis, which is useful for most imaging systems. OAP's offer the ability to focus collimated light without introducing spherical aberration. Additionally, unlike ... Read More Environmental Monitoring from the International Space Station Optical Surfaces Ltd. reports how a motorised UV-Vis-NIR collimator and interferometric alignment system it supplied to the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) in Berlin, Germany has been used to set-up the ground breaking DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS). On 23 October 2019, DLR the renowned German Aerospace Center, and the U.S. company Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) announced the start of routine operations for DESIS on the International Space ... Read More Ultra-Stable Mounts for Optics & Mirrors Optical Surfaces Ltd offer a range of high precision mounts developed to support off-axis paraboloids, spheres and optical flats up to 600mm diameter in applications where stability is important. Constructed in black anodized aluminium – four models of OS Mounts provide a secure and stable platform for mirror diameters from 100mm (4 inches) to 254mm (10 inches). Angular alignment can be made about two axes by means of dual action adjusters ... Read More Parabolic Mirrors for Optical Instruments Optical Surfaces Ltd is a leading manufacturer of Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors for optical instruments including radiometers, MTF measuring systems and spectrometers. Off-axis parabolic (OAP) mirrors are the most common type of aspherical mirrors used in optical instruments because they are free from spherical aberrations, and can focus a parallel beam to a point or point source to infinity. Employing off-axis parabolic mirrors in an instrument design allows optical engineers to not only ... Read More
