UK-based Optical Surfaces has been selected by the Gérard Mourou Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS) at the University of Michigan (USA) to provide beam expander optics for its zettawatt-equivalent ultrashort pulse laser system
The new A1-series delivers high performance at a market competitive price and are available on short delivery times
Optical Surfaces has released a new series of beam collimators designed for modulation transfer function (MTF) testing of optical systems
Optical Surfaces Ltd. has undertaken a study to determine how microroughness impacts the performance of Aspheric lenses and mirrors
Dr Aris Kouris, executive director of sales at Optical Surfaces, was asked about the latest challenges and trends in modern astronomy
Optical Surfaces has delivered a challenging 300mm diameter off-axis paraboloid and a mounted flat mirror to SIMERA Technology Group
Optical Surfaces have introduced a new set of reflective beam expanders that can achieve higher power density through operating in a vacuum
Optical Surfaces offers a complete manufacturing and test capability to produce on-axis parabolic mirrors up to 600mm (24-inches) in diameter
Optical Surfaces vacuum compatible reflective beam expanders are aspheric mirror-based devices offering either beam expansion or reduction capabilities. Incorporating high precision off-axis mirrors, they provide an unobstructed output and highly efficien
As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
