Plano Mirrors

Many medical, industrial and military applications, including spectroscopy, scanning and imaging, benefit from carefully crafted plano metallic mirror optics. Our mirrors offer wide bandwidth and high reflectivity which make them a natural choice for use in the UV, VIS, and IR spectral areas.

Key Capabilities: Our multi-axis diamond-turning machines allow for fully customized optic solutions. We use our world-class metrology lab to ensure that we deliver exactly what you ordered, on time.  Our SPDT capabilities allow us to manufacture to your exact specifications from single prototypes to high volume orders.
