Optical manufacturing and testing is the process of manufacturing and testing optical components. It spans a wide range of manufacturing procedures and optical test configurations. The manufacture of a conventional spherical lens typically begins with the generation of the optic's rough shape by grinding a glass blank. [1]
Seiler Instrument & Mfg. Co. is a manufacturer specializing in optical fire control equipment as well as a major distributor of surveying software and instruments, microscopes, and Zeiss planetariums. There are several main divisions within the company which include Manufacturing, Geospatial-Survey, Medical, Seiler Design Solutions, LLC., and ...
3-D Non-Contact Measurement Group (Optimet) Optical Metrology Ltd., an Ophir subsidiary, has developed new non-contact 3-dimensional measurement systems using its patented conoscopic holography technology. Optimet sensors provide precise 3-D measurements for applications in the motor, dentistry, electronics, steelworks, mechanics and aviation ...
Optical cage system in a vacuum chamber. An optical cage system is an optomechanical system that is used to mount optical elements such as lenses and mirrors together in a rigid assembly. Optical systems built this way can be more compact than can be achieved using an optical table, and the system provides more flexibility than an optical rail.
The new company became OFS Fitel, LLC, headquartered in Norcross (near Atlanta), Georgia, USA. [5] [better source needed] In 2010, OFS and Jiangsu Hengtong Optic-Electric Co., Ltd. established a joint venture company in China. This led to the formation of Jiangsu OFS Hengtong Optical Technology Co., Ltd. [6] [better source needed]
Hakim Optical in Richmond Hill. Karim Hakimi, a native of Iran, learned to make lenses from old window glass as a child. After a stint in the navy, Hakimi worked in the optical industry in Switzerland. [1] He then migrated to Canada and opened an optical laboratory in the former Elmwood Hotel (now the Elmwood Spa) in downtown Toronto, Ontario. [2]
Optical lens design is the process of designing a lens to meet a set of performance requirements and constraints, including cost and manufacturing limitations. Parameters include surface profile types (spherical, aspheric, holographic, diffractive, etc.), as well as radius of curvature, distance to the next surface, material type and optionally tilt and decenter.
The other major type of optical coating is the dielectric coating (i.e. using materials with a different refractive index to the substrate). These are constructed from thin layers of materials such as magnesium fluoride, calcium fluoride, and various metal oxides, which are deposited onto the optical substrate. By careful choice of the exact ...
