Hy-Per Bond™
Our patented adhesive-free bonding process, Hy-Per Bond™, overcomes issues such as beam distortion and performance degradation resulting from the outgassing of optical cement.
To deliver high quality components and systems, it is critical to accurately measure and test processed optical components with high precision and accuracy.
We have invested in world-class measurement equipment to ensure the parts our customers receive meet the most exacting of specifications.
We use a range of interferometric measurement systems during production and at the end of processes as part of our quality assurance procedures. This enables us to provide a broad range of exceptionally high-quality precision optical components and assemblies.
