Wide Variety of Custom optics

SP3 Plus
Custom Optics

A wide variety of custom products with customer-specified tolerances.

Optical Design

Optical Design

We have powerful optical design software which enables us to optimise your custom requirements. Some of the main functions of this software include:
  • Waveplate Design
  • Geometric aberration calculations,
  • Automatic correction with ‘adaptive method’ and ‘damped least squares’ methodology,
  • OTF calculation with ‘autocorrelation’ and ‘DFT’ methodology,
  • Tolerance calculations.

Prisms

Prisms

We can fabricate high-precision Penta Prisms (up to 1″ at 90° deviation) and Beamsplitter Penta Prisms, Schmidt Prisms, Penta Roof-Angle Prisms, Polygonal Prisms, Porro Prisms, Pechen Prisms, Amici-Dove Prisms, Coupling Prisms, Hollow Retroreflectors.

Polarising Optics:
We specialise in developing, growing and fabricating birefringent crystals, such as YVO4, a-BBO, LiNbO3, MgF2 and Quartz crystals. Many Polarising optical components have been developed based on our birefringent crystals, which include Glan Laser Polarising Prisms, Rochon Polarising Prisms, Polarising Beamsplitters, new Phase Retardation Plates, Achromatic Fresnel Rhomb Retarders, Birefringent Filters and Birefringent Wedges, etc.

Waveplates

Waveplates

With our experience orientating and fabricating high-quality nonlinear optical crystals, we ensure that the orientation of the crystalline axis is precisely maintained from first cut through to final assembly. We have a computerised system to produce large quantities of low-order and zero-order waveplates per month.
