Metal Optics for Lasers
These are diamond machined parts that are produced by the “OFC Diamond Turning Division”, USA, with diamond tools.
OFC has 16 diamond machines, one is a “Nanoform 600” from Precitech/Pneumo. This machine is the most precise diamond turning machine available on the market. OFC is a qualified supplier (ISO 9001) for several US Aerospace/Defence programs and has 60 people working in the diamond turning division.
Applications for their technology are the following samples:
-
Off-Axis parabolic mirrors
-
Beam integrators
-
Plano/plano (or plano/45°) mirrors with water cooling
-
Plano mirrors incl. customer tailored mounting
-
Large, light weight mirrors with reduced-weight-structure
-
Aspherical meniscus lenses
-
Scanning mirrors/polygon mirrors
-
Aspherical reflectors
-
Ring mirrors with aspherical contour
-
Axicons/Waxicons
-
Specials: Many parts that cannot be fabricated in glass, or for example mirrors made from beryllium (by nickel plating).
Material that can be diamond machined:
-
Copper
-
Aluminium
-
Electroless nickel
-
ZnSe/ZnS
-
Germanium
- Plastic
For the coating of the machined parts, there is a separate coating facility available within the same building. So the parts can be finished completely within the company, this guaranties a constant, high quality level.
