Diamond turning is an Aspherics best friend! Knight Optical can offer custom made Diamond turned aspheric lenses for use in missile guidance systems, night vision/thermal Imaging cameras and other military based and commercial infrared systems. We supply a range of diamond turned germanium aspherics for a range of applications. All individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. The benefit of Diamond Turned Aspherics, are that lens shapes can be manufactured very accurately without an expensive tooling cost except for the diamond bit; and is cost efficient for small quantities. Which are ideal for use within the Defence and Aerospace Industry. Knight Optical offers diamond turned aspherics from a range Read PDF for full specification…

As well as Knight Optical’s Low GDD Ultrafast Laser Mirrors, we can also provide broadband and wide-angle alternatives to cover more of a range of applications. Our Wide-Angle Laser Mirrors optimised for the fundamental and second harmonic (SHG) emissions of Ytterbium (Yb) doped lasers including diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) and fiber lasers, and therefore have a design wavelength of either 515nm or 1030nm. They exhibit > 99.9% reflection when used between 0 to 45°. The Broadband Laser Mirrors work from 700-900nm ideal for applications using a Ti:Sapphire laser, again demonstrating > 99.9% reflection within this wavelength range. Their key features include: •Ion beam sputtered (IBS) coating which is compact and durable. •Reflection > 99.9% within their design wavelength range. •Broadband laser mirrors work at 45° •Exhibit minimal group delay dispersion (GDD) to prevent pulse broadening •High laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) •Precision flatness and surface quality to

This month, Knight Optical is excited to unveil a brand-new range of Fluorescence Filter Sets. As its first product launch of the year, the announcement comes as welcome news to those working on fluorescence imaging applications, who demand premium-quality, ultra-precision Filter Sets for high-efficiency transmission. The launch follows the business’ 30th anniversary, which the global optics supplier celebrated last year, and demonstrates its dedication in continually evolving the growth of its already-comprehensive portfolio of cutting-edge, custom-made, and stock optical components. Here, the trusted brand discusses its new product offering and runs through the indispensable technicalities behind the sets.Filters and Sets to Meet Every Application’s Needs As a set of optics that are typically used for fluorescence applications within fields such as biology, materials science, chemistry, medical diagnostics, and mineralogy; for example,

Knight Optical can offer Gas Cells for use within the Chemical Analysis. We supply a range of Gas Cells for a range of applications. All individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customer specification. Supplied in a range of sizes and shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. Knight Optical supply precision optical components to customers within the chemical analysis industry. Gas cells are used in spectroscopy for identification of the contents of gases. The path length and window material are chosen for analysis of different concentrations and types of gas. Depending on the types of gases being analysed, the windows in a gas cell can be made from NaCl, KBr, CaF2, BaF2, or ZnSe and will be chosen depending on bandwidth, to meet the customer’s application. All our Gas Cells are fully inspected on their quality in our ISO 9001 certified, state-of-the-art Metrology laboratory
