Latest News  Aspheric Optics for Nuclear Research Laser FacilitiesOptical Surfaces Ltd. is an international supplier of diffraction-limited aspheric lenses for nuclear research laser facilities. Nuclear research laser facilities around the world today commonly use powerful amplified ultra-short duration pulses of coherent light to deliver massive energy densities at a given target. The synchronised delivery of such high-power pulses generates extreme conditions that allow scientists to carry out state of the art nuclear research and to study the conditions that ... Mounted or Unmounted Spherical MirrorsOptical Surfaces Ltd. is a leading international manufacturer of high precision spherical mirrors with radii (Rc) from 25 to 5000mm (1 to 200 inches) for use in UV-Visible and Infrared applications including Schlieren imaging, wind tunnels, observatory spectrographs, bubble chambers and as hindle spheres to test hyperboloids. Over the last 50+ years, Optical Surfaces has produced concave and convex spherical mirrors with diameters up to 1.3 metres (511 inches) in a ... Hyperbolic Mirrors for Deep Space ObservationOptical Surfaces Ltd. is a leading international manufacturer of hyperbolic mirrors for deep space observation telescopes and earth observation satellites. A hyperbolic mirror is the optical component of choice for precisely and accurately focusing light in a telescope from one focal point to the other focal point. Hyperbolic mirrors are used in a telescope design to correct certain distortions caused by an extremely fast f-ratio design. A hyperbolic secondary mirror is used ... Precision Lenses Enable Ground-breaking Synchrotron MeasurementsUsing ultra smooth transmission optics supplied by Optical Surfaces Ltd, the MAX IV Laboratory has managed to achieve measurement of the smallest ever electron beam emittance on their state-of-the-art 3 GeV synchrotron storage ring. The MAX IV Laboratory is Sweden's internationally renowned national synchrotron radiation facility. Hosted at Lund University, it operates the world´s first fourth-generation storage ring, which uses a multi-bend achromat lattice and innovative accelerator engineering solutions to deliver ... |
