You have specifications, we have the know-how

Polishing

It requires high technical skills to polish made-to-measure IR equipment. We have these technical skills and the monitoring equipment to produce your infrared optics in the best possible conditions, notably in the following substances :

  • Cleartran
  • ZnS
  • ZnSe(1)
  • Silicon
  • AsGa
 
  • Germanium
  • Cuivre
  • Molybdène
  • CaF 2
  • Amtir

At present, OPAL only deals with polishing flat, spherical and cylindrical optics

Surface coatings

standard coatings : AR/AR and AR/DLC (Diamond Like Carbon)

Diameter of coating equals diameter of lens minus 2mm
Diameter of lens between 10mm and 200mm
Radius of curvature of lens near to diameter
Inspection of part in accordance with ISO 10110-11 standard

 

Specific coatings and diameters : contact us

We offer the highest technical guarantees

Verifications using a Fizeau interferometer (a ZYGO, model GPI-XP)
Giving measurement precision ratings of:

  • for flat surfaces : λ/20 diameter 104 mm
  • for curves : λ/10 diameter 104 mm and control of radius up to 1000 mm

We apply quality control to 100% of our optical production, As we manufacture under ISO process, we guarantee :

  • the reliability of our organisation
  • the total traceability of all our products : record of materials, identification of surface treatment, optical characteristics
  • the quality record of each product

We manufacture IR components for applications in the fields of high technology

  • space
  • weaponry
  • thermal imaging formation
  • medical

Entrust us with your studies and technical specification sheets, we will offer you specially-adapted solutions at the lowest cost

OPAL, with its suppliers and subcontractors, forms a highly efficient network

Working with its suppliers of raw materials and its surface treatment subcontractors, OPAL understands all the constraints of CO2 Laser users. Our privileged working relationship with these users allows us to optimise the quality/price/service ratio of the optics we supply.

OPAL manufactures and also reconditions standard CO2 Laser optics
