For applications including ultra-high power laser physics that require very fast focusing and high energy densities and for use in astronomical applications
Optical Surfaces, a specialist in large high precision optics, has considerable experience of supplying on-axis parabolic mirrors for applications including ultra-high power laser physics that require very fast focusing and high energy densities and for use in astronomical applications.
Typical specifications achieved by Optisurf's highly experienced and skilled production team include on-axis parabolic mirrors up to 800mm in diameter.
Surface accuracies of lambda/20P-V can be achieved dependant on diameter and F number.
Benefiting from a stabilised manufacturing environment Optical Surfaces can, depending on the surface accuracy required, generate very fast focusing mirrors to f0.5 using proprietary production techniques.
In addition to achieving high energy densities on-axis parabolic mirrors offer the advantage that they are simpler to align and relatively affordable.
They are especially suitable for broadband or multiple wavelength applications due to their completely achromatic performance.
A range of coatings is available ranging from metallic with or without protective overcoat to multilayer dielectrics and ultra hard coatings for high-power lasers.
Production approved to ISO 9001-2000 and with all optics interferometrically tested before shipping, the company says the quality of its on-axis parabolic mirrors is assured.
