NUOVA DACO S.R.L.

Ball Lenses are widely used for focusing & coupling light into & out of fibres. With the high refractive index of Sapphire (Al2O3) material, it yields a low spherical aberration that can be used in the range of UV from 200nm up to 5µm, and with it being one of the hardest materials they are resistant to damage. The key feature of ball lenses is their short back focal length allowing for precision coupling where size or space is a limiting factor in the system. Typically used in pairs, where one lens acts as collimator for the second to focus the light back into the coupled fibre. Ball Lenses are manufactured from a single substrate of glad and therefore, depending on the geometry of the input source, can focus or collimate light. Half Ball Lenses can also be used as an interchange with a full ball lens for more compact designs. Read the PDF for more information...

Knight Optical has successfully launched a range of Stock Colour Glass Filters, for use within Entertainment and Design Industry. Within the LED Lighting Industry, Colour Glass Filters can used as downlights within a stage production by filtering the different visible wavelengths and filter out unwanted light from a white light source to provide desired coloured light that is perceived by an audience to be a highly saturated or intense colour. This is just what you need to help set the atmosphere for whatever event you’re planning We hold a massive inventory of Bandpass, Long pass, Short pass, and Mounted Colour Glass Filters. Stock sizes of 25mm diameter; and 50x50mm squares x 1mmthk with larger sizes of 300x300mm available on most of our filters as a custom option. Custom shapes and sizes at short notice, in most cases turned around within 1-2 week. Alternative thickness substrates available. For more information read the PDF …..

Knight Optical can offer Fire-Polished Aspheric Lenses for use within Optical Systems. We supply a range of Fire-Polished Aspheric lenses 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 with Optical systems. Aspheric lenses are used to correct for spherical aberrations and can be as effective a multi-lens system while taking up less physical space and reducing weight and cost. As such these lenses are often used in military applications, such as night vision goggles or missile guidance systems For more information read PDF …..
