A common element used in optical systems is known as a beam splitter. Beam splitting optical assemblies and elements play an integral role in optical systems by splitting, combining, and controlling the directions of multiple beam paths. Specialized thin film coatings applied to optical surfaces divide beams of light into separate wavelengths and polarization states with specific targeted values of transmittance and reflectance.

With a combination of a highly skilled work force, tons of capacity, high-end large aperture metrology, thin film coating and assembly capability, Precision Optical can be your “one-stop shop” for large optical flats and windows.

Precision Optical utilizes its arsenal of metrology equipment on all products delivered, where 100% inspection of finished articles is often required. In addition to using metrology equipment for fully furnished optical components, coatings and assemblies, we also offer metrology services on customer furnished materials.

Building upon decades of optical assembly experience, Precision Optical is pursuing an expansion of the assembly services we provide to our customers. Precision Optical possesses a diverse set of assembly capabilities that includes custom prisms, mirrors, windows and lenses, in sizes ranging from 3mm miniature optics to large 500mm optical flats.

Precision Optical has 55 years of precision manufacturing experience, and alongside our other high quality component products, such as corner cubes, penta prisms, optical flats, and custom prisms, we can produce some of the best alignment cubes in the market.

In recent years we have seen a growing demand for coat-only services, and Precision Optical is fully able to fulfill the diverse requirements. While significantly expanding the types of optical coatings we offer on substrates manufactured in-house, we also have grown in our ability to precisely schedule and maximize coating runs for efficiency gains.

Precision Optical has added two new interferometers, a new 4D 6” AccuFiz Fizeau© for its Polishing Department, and a Zygo Verifire ATZ© with a DMI radius slide to its Quality Assurance Department.
