Plastic materials may crack under the prolonged exposure to a UV light source… But not Knight Optical’s Dichroic Hot Mirrors! Knight Optical can supply you with high quality and cost effective Dichroic Hot Mirrors for use in optical systems where unwanted UV or IR light negatively impacts on the system quality. This includes UV and IR Sensitive Systems, medical illumination and display fibre optics. Prolonged exposure to UV light can cause degradation in plastic materials resulting in cracking and, eventually, mechanical failure. Exposure to IR can cause undesired thermal energy and heat into the system that can damage delicate components. Dichroic hot mirrors solve this issue by reflecting UV and IR light away from the component, meaning cost We hold a massive inventory of Bandpass, Long pass, Short pass, Band-blocking and Colour-correction filters.

We supply a range of Wedge Prisms 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 Forestry. Wedge Prisms are used in a similar manner to an angle gauge, when plotting the basal area of a group of trees. Wedge prisms are also used in beam steering. All our Wedge Prism are fully inspected on their quality in our ISO 9001 certified, state-of-the-art Metrology laboratory, using our Starrett AV300 Video Imaging System and our Trioptics PrismMaster. This allows us to work to the highest QA standards and meet the tolerance specifications on these precision components. Read PDF for more...

Knight Optical can offer Z-Cut Quartz Windows for use in the security industry. We supply a range of Z-Cut Quartz windows for a range of applications – all individually QA checked and metrology tested for quality to ensure parts meet customers’ specifications. What’s more, our Z-Cut Quartz Windows are supplied in a range of sizes & shapes with custom coatings tailored to meet your individual applications. We supply precision optical components to customers within the security industry. Z-Cut Quartz windows can be used in the terahertz region for non-invasive scanning of individuals. These types of scans can detect objects such as weapons & are used in airports and other high-security locations. Quartz is a birefringent material, which affects the polarisation of light passing through it, and is cut specifically along the Z-axis to maintain polarisation. Z-Cut Quartz is used in applications where quartz is an ideal material; yet changes to polarisation are required Read PDF for more...

Knight Optical can offer Calcium Fluoride Lenses for use within the Oil and Gas Industry. We supply a range of calcium fluoride 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 in the oil and gas industry for use within detectors and spectrophotometers. For spectroscopy, calcium fluoride is superior to many other materials such as N-BK7 or fused quartz due to a lack of OH absorption peaks. Due to calcium fluoride’s low absorption and reflection and high damage threshold these lenses can often be used uncoated and are ideal for use in laser applications as well as thermal imaging systems, spectroscopy and high energy neutron detection.

Knight Optical can offer custom Rod Lenses for use within Optical Systems. We supply a range of custom & stock Rod 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. Rod Lenses are a special variant of cylindrical lenses so they focus light to a line. Rod lenses have an outside face that is polished and the ends are ground. Typical uses for rod lenses would be to generate a line image from a circular laser beam. Rod lenses can be cut at 45 degrees for use in beam steering and other similar applications.

Knight Optical can offer Meniscus Lenses for use within Optical Systems. We supply a range of Meniscus 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. Any spherical surface will introduce spherical aberrations to an optical system. Meniscus lenses are designed with the curvatures of the lens in mind to minimise these spherical aberrations. This effect is more noticeable with higher index glasses as spherical aberrations increase with the change in index. Meniscus lenses can be an effective compromise on cost and aberration when compared to using aspheric lenses or multiple lens. Fore more information read the PDF….

Precision alignment and process technology for the assembly of small products down to micrometer accuracy. CTO technology for assembling small products in a clean room environment - where precision is the key. Modular workstations can be used as standalone operating platforms, integrated into semi-automated platforms, or scaled up for fully automated production lines producing up to 10m products/year.

Our Photonic Visual Inspection Tool (PVIT) is designed to be compatible with the same base platform as our Photonic Test Prober, providing you with multiple testing options when required. Also, as with our PTP, our Photonic Visual Inspection Tool is designed for high throughput.
