Latest News  Wideband Infrared Beamsplitter for Military TestingOptical Surfaces Ltd has supplied a high precision beamsplitter that lies at the heart of a Michelson type interferometer for testing of optical components used in military applications. The Defence Systems integrator awarded the contract to design and build the interferometer selected Optical Surfaces Ltd as their optical supply partner for this project because of their track record in producing complex, high precision optics. Required for testing the quality of infrared optical ... Versatile Mounting System for Off-Axis Parabolic MirrorsOptical Surfaces Ltd has launched a new low profile mounting system that provides a highly stable platform for smaller diameter (up to 75mm) parallel or wedge backed off-axis parabolic (OAP) mirrors. Designed to facilitate rapid and simple mounting onto an optical table or other support, Optical Surfaces is now able to supply smaller diameter OAP mirrors pre-aligned in the new high quality stress-free mount. Benefiting from a uniquely stable manufacturing environment, and ... Hyperbolic Mirrors for Earth Observation SatellitesOptical Surfaces Ltd is a leading manufacturer of high precision hyperbolic mirrors that are used in satellite-based telescopes to collect and focus light enabling high-resolution remote observation in applications including agriculture, water resources, urban planning, rural development, mineral prospecting, environment, forestry and disaster management. Earth observation satellites employ hyperbolic mirrors in their telescope design to allow high optical performance over a large field-of-view in a compact footprint. A hyperbolic secondary mirror ... Primary Focusing Mirrors for Petawatt Laser BeamlinesUltra-high precision off-axis paraboloids from Optical Surfaces Ltd. are being used to maximise power density at the focus of Petawatt laser beamlines run by world-leading, high-power laser research groups including ELI, LULI and CLF Rutherford as well as a growing number of academic centres of excellence. Off-axis paraboloids, also known as off-axis parabolic mirrors, are the focusing element of choice for high-power laser research groups because they offer the advantage of ... Highly Efficient Fibre Optic Channel PlatesOptical Surfaces Ltd reports how it is machining and polishing high precision Fibre Optic Channel Plates (FOCP) for an X-ray shielding application. Fibre Optic Channel Plates are widely used as optical devices to replace optical lenses because they require no focusing distance making them an ideal component when creating a compact optical device. Comprising a bundle of micron-sized optical fibres - FOCP are used as a lens to transmit light or ... |
