Achromatic Off-Axis Paraboloids Suitable for Broadband Applications
Optical Surfaces Ltd. reports that its Off-Axis Paraboloids are particularly suitable for broadband and multiple-wavelength applications thanks to their completely achromatic performance characteristics. Continue…
Optical Surfaces Limited are a UK based company supplying the world with optical components and instruments. We specialise in large optics, beam expanders, collimators and prototypes, plus custom systems and optics.
Over the last 50 years – Optical Surfaces Ltd has established itself as a leading international manufacturer of top quality, high precision optical components and systems. We have contributed to many major projects worldwide involved in areas such as:
• fundamental physics • astronomy • space • defence and the environment
Benefiting from a uniquely stable production environment – Optical Surfaces Ltd is recognised as one of the world's finest manufacturers of solid and air spaced etalons.
Etalons are widely used in telecommunications, lasers, and spectroscopy to control and measure the wavelengths of light. Recent advances in fabrication techniques, developed by Optical Surfaces Ltd, has enabled the creation of a new generation of very precise tuneable Fabry–Pérot interferometers.

Optical Surfaces Ltd is a leading manufacturer of high precision custom and prototype lenses for the most demanding camera, collimator, and optical imaging system applications. The company has extensive experience of producing high precision singlets, doublets, meniscus, cylindrical and aspheric lenses up to 600mm (24-inches) in diameter.
From decades of producing large diameter custom lenses for leading research establishments, government institutions and industrial organisation worldwide – Optical Surfaces has built up ...
Optical Surfaces Ltd has developed a new modular approach enabling simple set-up of a larger diameter beam expander assembly aligned to your optical experiment. These pre-aligned modules enable researchers to undertake a complex 5-degrees of freedom set-up in a matter of minutes rather than days or even weeks.
Traditionally beam expanders have come as complete, pre-aligned mounted optical systems in an enclosure. While this approach provides a good beam expansion solution ...
Optical Surfaces Ltd. has collaborated with the Institute of Plasma Physics & Lasers at the Hellenic Mediterranean University (Rethymno, Crete, Greece) to develop high quality customised optics, including off-axis parabolic mirrors, as key focusing elements for their 'Zeus' 45 TW ultrashort laser pulse system.
The Institute of Plasma Physics & Lasers (IPPL) is internationally renowned for its cutting-edge research in areas including laser matter / plasma interactions, pulsed power generated plasmas ...
Optical Surfaces Ltd has launched a new mounting system that provides a highly stable platform for wedged back off-axis parabolic mirrors.
Off axis parabolic mirrors can be produced by two distinct methods, as a standalone single optic or from a parent on-axis paraboloid. Produced by the parent method, wedged back off-axis paraboloids can be very accurately centred. In addition, the back of the wedged back off-axis parabolic mirror can be polished ...
