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.
